    Is that polite though? I get that it isn’t explicitly rude but I pretty much only use that phrase as short hand for “why are you talking about this you fucking weirdo?” I think it’s subtly rude at best.

      If a team lead, sight unseen, just tells you their sexual preference without any context or follow-up then yeah that’s fucking weird and they’re a weirdo.

        Yeah definitely, just saying I’m not sure polite is the right label for a response with that kind of subtext.
