Honey Please!

"Honey please" is a sarcastic remark used to combat rampant exaggeration or prevarication in a social setting. For example when a friend tells you they are going to pay the money they owe you as soon as they get part of their 50 million dollar Swiss bank account, your response should be, "Honey please." As if to say I wasn't born yesterday. Or give me a break.

Abbey bartender David Kassouf labeled the honey container with this retort to combat the endless stupidity he encounters at the bar. I find it's quite useful in any number of social and professional situations. When your boss tells you that your're not being a team player and you're only getting a 1% raise this year. You should without any hesitation respond, "Honey please!"
