"They've betrayed my trust but I wish them well" is an interesting statement.

Don't you wish well on people you don't want to associate with? It would be interesting if you didn't, imo.

		> people you don't want to associate with That’s an oversimplification of what your parent comment said, which was someone who has betrayed your trust. > It would be interesting if you didn't Why? What’s interesting about it? You don’t have to actively wish harm on people who harmed you, but there’s nothing strange about not wishing them well.

"they can fuck off from where they came" would be a bit too intense even for Gary

"I wish them well" is an idiom for "I never want to see them again".

Kinda like "bless your heart", which means nothing of the sort.

Why do non-Southerners keep insisting on this? Bless your heart can be said sincerely or ironically, like pretty much any other phrase.

		The ironic usage makes for compelling dialogue and comports with stereotypes about Southerners as formal/restrained. So that's what ends up on television. At least that is how I think I came about having that impression.
