I couldn't agree more with the 'good for you'! English is my second language and the first time I heard it I thought they were being sarcastic.

"No offense but...." is always a get out of jail card to say something offensive.
"Good for you" usually said when someone doesn't expect a certain achievement from you. I find it condescending.
My husband sometimes says "sexy time" it completely kills my moodHahaha we use date night as a euphanism for sex, we always have kids around so it's easier to say, do you fancy a date night tonight I'm hoping the kids will just think we are very romantic
