Retorse

Retorse: noun. Condolences provided in the form of a response to something. Retorses are very much applicable and appropriate, when someone is speaking of a sad event, for example a funeral or death a beloved pet. Many times retorses are expected by the speaker, as a form of acknowledgment that the listener understands just how tragic the entire occurrence was. However one must be very careful that the expression of grief and sadness is genuine, for it is very offensive to provide a retorse when a retorse isn't appropriate or wanted, and uttering it at the incorrect time, can result in a permanent declaration of hatred.
