I’ve discovered you can pepper many sentences with “at least” to really change its meaning and annoy someone. For example, if you are going to walk the dogs and baby and the wife is upstairs, you could say, “Could you please drop the baby’s socks down?” or you could say, “Could you at least please drop the baby’s socks down?” The latter can really annoy someone.
At least
