What does mine say?

Sweet!

Where's my car?

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

[–] Azuth@lemmy.today 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.

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 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.

I know, right?

In this thread: onomatopoeia

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

Also in this thread: Semantic satiation.

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 2 points 11 months ago

You'd better not poeiaonamato.

[–] flipht@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] simple@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago

That's crazy...

[–] iHUNTcriminals@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oof... 😣

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 8 points 11 months ago

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

word

[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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?

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago

How long can two people talk about nothing?

[–] isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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