Transform Trite
Terminology
The trite phrases in daily use
have become so meaningless that
conversation results in more
sound and less communication signifying who-knows-what.
Babble requires that one listen,
more or less, and reply with originality.
The following suggestions,
then are possible replies to be
used on encountering babble.
Hi… What do you know? ….
“Everything. Ask me something.”
I'm going to fight to the bitter
end …
“Why must the end be bitter?
Maybe it's sweet, sour, salty, bitter sweet, or even spicy.”
It stands to reason …
“Your reason doesn't have a
leg to stand on.”
It goes without saying …
“Then why say it?”
In the last analysis …
“The first analysis is more fun.”
Words fail me …
“For how long?
“Thank heavens.”
