Miscommunication happens very easily. What did you think that question was about? Was it an invite to smoke a cigarette or to homosexual sex. Such mulitleveled terminology can quickly lead to misunderstandings.

What are words for, when no one listens anymore?

Are we communicating with eachother or just ourselves?

huh?


I was thinking of smoking. But I'm generally always thinking of smoking.

Good, it was ment as smoking. I thought about it after talking with an english man while smoking

this is where I'd look at a person straight in the eye and ask them to repeat it

I knew it was about cigarettes because it was coming from you. If other orgers read it I would have taken it as a gay sex thing, or a double entendre. Words are for communicating essential emotions. They can also be used to communicate to your higher power. Whose to say no one listens. That is a vary narrow minded, shallow fallacy imho. As far as communicating with each other or ourselves, it is all dependent on the individual and the circumstances in which they are communicating.

Talking with an english man always makes me want to smoke.

If you were talking to an English person it would mean cigarette.

I thought it was about smoking too. The same if someone said, 'can I push in a stool'. A seat immediatley springs to mind.

I'm only a social smoker so I'd more likely react when someone says, "got a light?"

I am already

I'm tossing salad right now with with two chopsticks cuase I can't find my salad utinsils.

I like to ejaculate on old women.

Where I come from that can have a variety of meanings. It's so easy to be misunderstood.

MickG said:

yeah, but sometimes it doesn't matter. like in the case of your example, either way i'd answer 'yes', so what's the difference really?

CarrieMpls said:

and try not when you've been on 20+ a day.

wow.

Is this the first thread of MickG's where NOBODY has called him an ass or cursed him some way??

This is historical.

And I instantly thought of "Prisoner Cell Block H" when I read the subject line.
