per se

Latin borrowing meaning "in and of itself", used in certain fairly specific, idiomatic contexts in casual English. Is typically used with a negative to indicate that a term being used is understood to be imprecise or off-the-mark (i.e., not accurate 'per se') in a case where the term is nevertheless useful to an explanation. Usually followed by an explanation or justification for the use of the term indicated. It is as well sometimes used preceding a term indicated, especially in more formal (e.g., legal) usage. In these contexts, usually used in the positive to reinforce a characterisation as fundamentally being the case (i.e., 'per se' accurate).



per se
A Pretentious term, often used both out of context and too often by people who would like to sound more intelligent than they actually are.
Example:
"I know that you are my best friend but if you continue to use this phrase i shall have to kick the living shit out of you"..."Ok i wont kick shit out of you per se but i`ll certainly make you wish you had never said it"


per se
a phrase that allows some flexibility in the topic at hand, so you can talk about something without being very specific
Example:
i wouldn't say it's a psuedo box, per se, but i digress, i really do


per se
-- on the face of it
-- generally speaking
-- on average
-- inherently

Frequently used improperly by persons who think it makes them sound educated.
Example:
Its not that these people are stupid, per se. Its usually the case that they are self-educated.


per se
Of, in, or by itself or oneself; intrinsically.

with respect to its inherent nature;

Can be used to mean "as such", "sort of" and "just about" but the phrase may not fit into the context of such uses.
Example:
"this statement is interesting per se"

"i can go were ever want per se"


Pay Per se
"Per se" is a Latin term that means "in itself" or "by itself." When combined with "pay," the phrase "pay per se" is often used to emphasize that payment is the primary or sole consideration, rather than any other factors that may be involved.

For example, if you say "I'm not interested in the perks that come with the job, I just want to be paid fairly, pay per se is what matters most to me," you are emphasizing that your primary concern is the salary or wages you will receive, rather than any other benefits that may be offered.

In other words, "pay per se" means payment itself, without any additional factors or considerations.
Example:
I will pay per se with QR.


gayness per se
violations of heterosexual law

For a valid gayness per se claim, the plaintiff must show:

1) the potentially gay actor committed a homosexual act,
2) the act is one that is commonly associated with gayness, and
3) the act involves another man

Footnote: intent is irrelevant under gayness per se analysis; therefore, unintentional or accidental acts of gayness will rise to the level of full-blown gay under gayness per se
Example:
Jeffrey, under the false assumption that gayness must be intended, did not think he was gay after accidentally bumping into a naked old man in the locker room. Jeffrey is guilty of gayness per se.

Mari thought that Shawn was a man, but in reality Shawn was a grotesque and hideous looking woman in disguise. Mari is guilty of gayness per se.
