Appreciated but you'd be of the kind of personality that likes to be straight shooter, others need shit sugar-coating so they don't get offended (not me personally). That's when the 'to be honest' bit slides in. This would get used by me depending on who I'm talking to.

I understand what you're saying though.

So how come one never hears the expression used outside Ireland ?

Is there some rule peculiar to hiberno-english that a phrase cannot mean what it actually says ?

I have an unfortunate addiction to this.

It does add an extra coating of verbose sugar to sneaky put-downs that slip under the ban radar though.
