"Experts" abound. They also make the country dumber with their absurd stipulations about what normal people accept in vocabulary and grammatical speech.

In reply to Sorry, I thought these

A real linguist or FBI speech analyst would have given us a stat count on how many times "Believe me" follows a yuge lie vs a throwaway promise or observation. Instead it's bland nothingness 2 years into this shitstorm. She belongs on mainstream TV.

Willie the Pimp? Why weasels

Willie the Pimp? Why weasels rip my flesh. Instead of the armory, we find our Suzie Creamcheese backstage at the G20 sucking cock - what's gotten into him/her? (aside from the vladistically obvious).

Sorry, I thought these observations could have been made by a high school student. The difference is that the youth probably would not have left out the "linguistic" characteristic that is most notable--the guy lies constantly, effortlessly, about important things, about irrelevant things, and without the "tells" that you might notice in someone with any morality.

The other thing is that the linguist is foolish enough to believe he does all this on purpose; as a tactic. Her observations about his, "Believe me" statements that either precede or follow something leave out the fact that what he is saying is patently untrue. He talks like this because he is incapable of talking any other way.

small edit for grammar

In reply to Donald's a composite of Moon

Well, Billy paid too many dues to fit the role. DT is closer to the mercantile spirit of Willie in Hot Rats.

But strictly speaking, isn't everything a "Zappening?"

Donald's a composite of Moon and "Ethel, let's move to New York"? This is all just a Zappening?

If I raise it too high, I won

Ah but what's amazing is that Moat at Dagblog never fails to raise the level of discourse about low discourse in a most excellent way.

In reply to Bo-ring. And unlikely. I don

The guy definitely forces discourse into a low gear.

The prevailing theories go either in the direction of Crafty Tactician of Incomplete Sentences or Once Articulate Player is Overcome by Dementia.

The two theories may not be mutually exclusive. What sort of medium could provide sustenance to such ostensibly different modus operandi?

Bag my face, fer sure.

Bo-ring. And unlikely. I don't have acquaintances or family members who speak that moronic.

ETA: even non-native speakers soeak better.
