What is Did I Step On Your Trumpet??
1.
A saying which implies that there was no intent to offend someone. Made popular by psychedelic pop group Danielson on the album Ships. Can also be used when one is unsure of whether or not harm was done by an offhanded comment.
Jerry: Oh I know I hated those kids, in fact I hated anyone who had a pony growing up
Manya: I Had a pony
Jerry: Sorry, did I step on your trumpet?
that would've saved Manya.
