An offense is a violation of dignity and personal or collective rights; insult by word or deed, or both; an injustice. It may be real, or it may be imagined. The taking or giving of "offense" may be a pretext for generating conflict, and is often a hot topic in partisan politics. Frequently someone claims that another writer or speaker has said something "offensive", which was "wrong".
