I don’t have anything to wear…what we mean is…I don’t wanna wear any of this stuff.
Is this any good…what we mean is…do you like this?
Getting up on stage makes you nervous…what we mean is…getting up on stage makes me nervous.
In the same way…
Beck and call…we mean…beck and call.
Don’t leave your feet (basketball reference) (also impossible to leave your feet)…we mean…don’t leave the floor.
Watch your head (also impossible)…we mean…don’t hit your head.
And finally the one I was corrected on deep into adulthood…intensive purposes…we mean…intents and purposes.
The better we get at saying what we mean, the better we can find connection through our intent.
