pro tip: when you fall a little behind in a conversation bc you don’t understand a word/they’re talking too fast/there’s a concept that you’re missing – “can you talk about that a little more?” will work… magic……
u sound smart
if you’ve used up all your “sorry, what?” times this has ppl repeat themselves in different words but they feel good about it
often when asked to speak more about a topic ppl explain it more clearly
if you don’t know the word they used but everyone at the table seems to (they don’t), having them talk more about it can help u figure out what that word means
it will also give u more context to figure out if a word/topic/concept was just dropped for Style Points (ie to be Fancie) or if it’s something u actually need to google later
EVERY time i have done this in a group conversation, at least one person has said “actually yeah i don’t really know what you’re talking about” so ur probably helping friends
ppl really love talking about stuff & you’re basically telling them “i’m super into listening to you talk”
A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY.
The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game? The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.
He explains, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vice versa.”
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, “Okay, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don’t know the answer, I will pay you $500.00.”
This catches the blonde’s attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?”
The blonde doesn’t say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. “Okay” says the lawyer, “your turn.”
She asks the lawyer, “What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?” The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail.
After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.00. The blonde says, “Thank you,” and turns back to get some more sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, “Well, what’s the answer?” Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.
Yooooooooooo now THIS is the kind of blonde jokes I’m about
