Where's my car?

Nonsense, we're contributing to the conversation by confirming that we're listening.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

I've had some "oof"s hit harder for me than full conversations. Sometimes you just need to know the boys feel for you even if they're not saying anything.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

This. Too many times people want to turn the conversation to themselves, when a lot of the time it is better to actively listen and/or let the talker vent.

You'd better not poeiaonamato.

I usually say oof when the conversation is a trainwreck I wouldn't want to contribute to.

That's crazy...

Oof... Bruh, there's no natural rule saying we have to contribute to anything.

They do. It's contextual, but very efficient.

Is there a word for a third/fourth wheel friend? You know, the one that always walks behind, the one that sits next to their two or four best friends in class, but just far enough so that the conversation either doesn't concern them, or they don't hear enough to contribute to it. Is that even common? Or is it just me?

It's not what you say, it's how you say it.
