Now I just imagine a Ryan George sketch out of this
“Hi there hello I have a new hat what do think?”
“Oh yeah that hat looks good on you.”
“I think the hat f***ing sucks”
“Hey! That wasn’t very nice!”
“Actually it wasn’t nice at all.”
“Yeah that’s the same thing.”
“You were just kind of implying that it was just kind of nice.”
“Okay, then it wasn’t nice at all.”
“Bingo! Exactly.”
“Apologize!”
“Why, because I told him the truth?”
“No, because what you said wasn’t very nice.”
“Sometimes the truth isn’t very nice, and sometimes it can be not nice at all like what I just told you.”
“I just wanted to show you my hat and now I’m mad.”
“How would you like it if I said something that wasn’t very nice about you?”
“Well if it wasn’t very nice but just kinda nice that’d be cool I guess.”
“You’re a meany face.”
“Oh my gosh now I’M mad!”
“Yeah doesn’t feel too good does it?”
“We gotta call the cops over this.”
“Why? I didn’t hurt him.”
“You hurt his insides.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You didn’t physically hit him, but you hit him with your mouth. Your words.”
“That makes no sense. You’re saying I hurt his insides with my mouth? I’m not eating him.”
“No, you hurt his feelings.”
“What are feelings?”
“You hurt the part of his body that makes him feel things.”
“His skin?”
“No you hurt the little thing inside of his body that allows him to feel.”
“His brain.”
“More or less, kinda.”
“You’re saying I used my mouth to make words, and the projection of those words hurt his brain and I need to apologize for that. Do you realize how stupid you sound?”
“Hey that wasn’t very nice!”
“It wasn’t nice at all quit saying it like that.”
