Colloquialism

Colloquialism is the linguistic style we use for casual conversation. We do this because it requires less brain power and shows the invisible power of how things are done around here.

The problem is, that our left brain is so literal, it can understand the subtle art of language. It doesn’t understand that when someone is laughing hysterically and says, “This is killing me.” That it isn’t actually killing the person.

And so, when our boss sends a text saying, “We need to talk.” Our alarm bells can’t help but go off.

What we say effects how people react. When the conversations are more crucial we are careful in the words we use. And when we are casual with our language, people will in return perhaps not understand what it is you are actually saying.
