Versatility of Language

Language is a medium of communication. I know nuts about languages and I also have difficulties learning them. But I know for sure that language is a very versatile tool of communication. Be it any language, you can twist and turn to cover yourself. That's why we have the phrase "gift of the gab".

You can compose beautiful poetry, you can use it to curse like hell, you can sweet talk your lovers, you can con people simply by talking, and you can even counter an attack by chosing the appropriate words.

Politicians are the greatest jugglers in semantics and they dance with the rhythym of rhetorics. When caught with their pants down, they can even do a David Copperfield to make themselves invisible!!

In this Bolehland Malaysia the art of rhetoric has been refined to an exact science. There are very famous personalities who are masters of this scientific pursuit. They can do a 360-degree turn, a flip flop 4-time somersaults and even touch their noses with their tongues. It's unbelievable! They have gone to such an extent that they become fools and nincompoops in public eyes.

On the other scale of things, there are those obscured little people who become famous linguistic scientists overnight! These are like rats, they roam around stinking sewers devouring whatever shits that pass their way. They are big and fat bloated with all the scums and maggots they consume. Outwardly, appearing big and healthy, but inside their guts, worms and maggots multiply. Coming back to these little obscure people who become famous overnight for the wrong reasons. Once cornered, they will perform a break-dance to break their own necks. Sometimes they appear to bite back like a mad dog being cornered.

Be that as it may, as all dramas unfold; the ultimate triumph of goodness over evil will prevail.
