This morning one of my coworkers was talking about plugging a PC into the VOIP phone so they could share a data jack and she referred to it as "jacking off the phone". I lol'd #phrasing
Everyone's familiar with the concept of a sugar daddy, but allow me to introduce:
@lunalein @bookstodon In addition to Ross Gay and Claudia Rankine, I'll take the risk of betting on a couple of #authors of whose work I've only read one #book*: Anna Burns (based on Milkman) and Rachel Cusk (based on Outline—I've just bought the other two in that trilogy).

@alienskyler @autogynamelia Indeed; the whole purpose of communicating is conveyance. It might be from one person or group to another, or it might be across time, but if you fail to convey what you set out to, then your #WordChoice or #phrasing hindered your effective #communication, and thus reduced the effectiveness of what you originally set out to do by communicating in the first place.

Curious (maybe want to use them)
Dismay (friend/acquaintance thinks it looks bad)
Got any other ways?
