Smart. I was taught that swearing/shouting/throwing things was a sign of having lost the argument before it starts, and that disdain and absolute correctness work better. I have a rule that I can say whatever I want after I hang up the phone (and should remember that for posting, ahem.)
Trump's supposed to be half Scots. Somebody teach him to cock a snoot at someone he wants to insult instead of tweeting. It's much quieter, more personally insulting, and in American, probably puzzling. The urban dictionary has it wrong as theirs is the vulgar version. It's actually the art of sticking one's nose in the air while looking down that nose and giving someone a disdainful look and perhaps a little hiss, click or humph. Much more refined and the ultimate haughty snub. Should suit quite well if Mr. T can restrain himself and will be understood in diplomatic circles. Very Downton Abbey.
Did you tell them???
ReplyDeleteOh boy did I.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell us - or shall we guess?
ReplyDeleteI used no curse words and made no threats.

ReplyDeleteGood for you! Too many people do not respond or follow through.
ReplyDeleteOh, Bunnykins, if only our President could show such restraint.
