As I was cruising the dictionary.com I found this interesting and thought to point it out to you since the "Just a nerdy etymological jab" I became interested looking at the entymology of respect and found this:
Quote:
disrespect /ˌdɪsrɪˈspɛkt/ Pronunciation[dis-ri-spekt]
–noun 1. lack of respect; discourtesy; rudeness.
–verb (used with object) 2. to regard or treat without respect; regard or treat with contempt or rudeness.
|
(bold is mine)
So thus, your statement is by definition, your "not respecting" them is disrespecting them.
