People perceive me as the nasty, evil one so if I say "how nice" they look for a nasty, evil angle to it while if someone else who is perceived nice says "how nice" they think it IS nice.
Oh! What fun! It's quite entertaining to play with people's minds. Take, for example, how I talked about making yak yak yak and my friend, about making yada yada yada. They thought I was nasty. I copied and pasted the following from Encarta:
| yak [ yak ] or yack [ yak ] |
intransitive verb (past and past participle yakked, present participle yak·king, 3rd person present singular yaks) (past and past participle yacked, present participle yack·ing, 3rd person present singular yacks) |
| Definition: |
| chatter continuously: to talk continuously, usually about unimportant matters |
| noun (plural yaks) (plural yacks) |
| Definition: |
| continuous chatter: continuous talking, usually about unimportant matters, or an instance of this |
| yad·da yad·da yad·da [ ydə ydə ydə ] or ya·da ya·da ya·da [ ydə ydə ydə ] |
noun |
| Definition: |
| vacuous chatter: boring trite superficial unending talk just a lot of yadda yadda yadda on the talk shows tonight |
| interjection |
| Definition: |
| used as filler or indicator: used in speaking as a filler for unstated material or to indicate boredom or distaste for things others are saying or have said We chewed it over forever ... yadda yadda yadda, nothing important. |
Almost the same definition. Yada has more negative feelings but since perception is powerful, my yak was bad while her yada was ok. Of course there can simply be lots of really idiotic people out there.
Did I say play with people's minds? How? I'll just laugh at idiocies.
