المعنى
A polite way to disagree with someone.
خلفية ثقافية
In Poland, the 'Pan/Pani' culture is very strong. Using 'z całym szacunkiem' is a way to maintain this distance while being critical. It's often used in the Sejm (Polish Parliament) during heated debates. In modern Polish corporations, there is a mix of American 'flat' hierarchy and traditional Polish formality. 'Z całym szacunkiem' is the perfect middle ground for this environment. Polish universities are traditionally very hierarchical. A student would almost never disagree with a professor without using this or a similar buffer. On Polish Facebook or Twitter, using this phrase can be a way to 'win' an argument by appearing more cultured than the person you are arguing with.
The 'Ale' Rule
99% of the time, this phrase is followed by the word 'ale' (but). If you don't say 'ale', people will be waiting for it!
Watch your tone
If you say it too fast or with a smirk, it becomes an insult. Keep your face neutral and your voice calm.
