Hi there,
I need an expression or idiom for the situation below:
You're talking to Sb and you want to mention Sth that doesn't sound appropriate (it may be taken in bad part by the person) so you try to make it clear you don't mean to address them. (I've already heard of this: "Saving your presence,...") (In Persian we'd say "far from you...")
Example: (person A is a writer)
A: So, what do you think of writers?
B: Well, (...the idiom I'm looking for!) I think some writers don't even understand the subject they're writing about!
Thanks...(Sorry for my awful explanation!)
