Nope. Just remembering the hilarious interrogation scene from "Wilt" when the police man askes Wilt "... are you inferring that I'm stupid?" to which Wilt replies, "... no I'm implying that you're stupid, you're inferring it!.

Never pass up the opportunity to work that into something. BTW I agree with much of what you wrote. Lazy and stupid speech is irritating in the extreme. That's one of the reasons I like listening to folks like Chris Hitchens whose command of the language is something wonderous.
