Please support the Forum by using the Amazon Link this Holiday Season

Amazon has started their Black Friday sales and there are some great deals to be had! As you shop this holiday season, please consider using the forum's Amazon.com link (listed in the menu as "Amazon Link") to add items to your cart and purchase them. The forum gets a small commission from every item sold.

Additionally, the forum gets a "bounty" for various offers at Amazon.com. For instance, if you sign up for a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, the forum will earn $3. Same if you buy a Prime membership for someone else as a gift! Trying out or purchasing an Audible membership will earn the forum a few bucks. And creating an Amazon Business account will send a $15 commission our way.

If you have an Amazon Echo, you need a free trial of Amazon Music!! We will earn $3 and it's free to you!

Your personal information is completely private, I only get a list of items that were ordered/shipped via the link, no names or locations or anything. This does not cost you anything extra and it helps offset the operating costs of this forum, which include our hosting fees and the yearly registration and licensing fees.

Stay safe and well and thank you for your participation in the Forum and for your support!! --Deborah

  • It's called mirroring. It's where the speaker -consciously or subconsciously- imitates the tone, vernacular, and movements of the listener. Lean in when they lean in, use their speech patterns and vocab, etc; it's an effective psychological tool to manufacture a connection when done well. When done poorly it comes off as insulting, mocking, and patronizing (like what AOC did).

    Trump does it well. Saw him speak on one of his visits to the South. He has said "Roll Tide!" a few dozen times and will use words like "y'all", "reckon", "yonder", etc, etc. and avoids those words when in other areas.

    • Not only politicians, you'll note salespeople doing it, too.

      • well the reason I wear jeans and boots when I go sell at farms is not because of that per say. If you have even been on a farm, you would know that you don't show up in a suit and dress shoes. not unless you want cow shit on your nice dress shoes. they also wouldn't be receptive. they are extremely leery of outsiders and city folk, but I don't talk any different.
