<\/a>by Doug Wilson from Blog and Mablog \u2013 Listen, Twinklebuns<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nEditor\u2019s note: Truthfully I\u2019m not entirely sure what Doug is whinging on about here? He started off waffling around about voice tones and dictionary definitions. This is a very different level of word salad that seems to say to be sure and judge others by how they dress, grunt and what car they drive, how you roll your eyes. Does anyone here speak word salad?<\/em><\/p>\n It turns out that we communicate with one another in a host of different ways, and what can be found in the dictionary does not necessarily constitute the lion\u2019s share of what is going on. The dictionary does not contain the color of that red convertible, eye rolls, a scarf thrown around the neck in a rakish, devil-may-care attitude, well-placed grunts, the pregnant pauses in the conversation, or some young twinklebuns sashaying down the street like he was in Manhattan or something. In fact, Manhattan itself is a connotation.<\/p>\n As with all communication, some people are fluent and others are inept. Non-verbal cues can misfire just like regular talk can. Take the unattractive girl who makes herself decidedly more unattractive with that attractive tattoo. She just does it, and the rules are that the world must pretend. The world must preserve her bubble. We all must look off into the middle distance, whistling.<\/p>\n Whether competently done or not, if anyone is so gauche as to repeat back in verbal form what everyone in the room just saw and grasped as the Meaning of Said Event, we have all been trained to react as though that person were attempting to read hearts. But if the subject didn\u2019t say<\/em> it, then the only other place meaning could reside in down in his heart, and the critic cannot see the heart. Take that<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ \u2013 we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think?
