Filtering Language

Can you think of any examples when you have filtered the words that come out of your mouth? They were not the first instinctive words in your mind? remember the test in class?

S*x
Sh*t
F**K

Six, Shot and Flak. Naturally!

This is a great reminder that we not only filter by perception (input) but by Language (output) as well. Thinking about interview techniques is another good way to recognize the way we filter our natural instincts with language. So, any examples of your own?

Reflecting on this weeks class. What did you make of our role play. I did some more reserach on the Tarara boom de ay theory. i think the original word hails from the Philippines, but its not a well known theory. Some housepoints available for anyone who can strengthen/ source this theory. I felt this theory was worthwhile and provokes another question. Why dance? I hope language originated from a state of celebration rather than necessity. Do you and does it matter in any case?
