Would that end bit basically translate to “if I may”/“if you will”? I know a more literal translation would be “if I may ask/request”. Mein Deutsch ist mittelmäßig und ich brauche mehr Übung.
I figured it was a phrase that didn’t have a direct translation to English. I believe my initial translation of “if I may”/“if you will” is correct then since I’ve heard/used “if you please” in the same way in English. Either way thanks for clarifying!
Those two are way less offensive. I (ironically) used this phrase to poke fun at them. It is rather sarcastic and implies that they really should have. At least in my understanding of the English language.

Not really, it’s a phrase. Basically “if you please”.
