My verbal skills are absolutely horrendous.
I either say nothing at all or I unleash a torrent of semi-coherent crap that no listener could possibly understand or absorb. I talk kind of like I write – with lots of tangents and explanations. However, it just doesn’t come out in quite the same way. I forget words, say “like”, use other colloquialisms and generally look like a buffoon trying to make himself look smarter than he actually is.
The most lucid verbal expression I ever produce is when I am slightly drunk or working off a good buzz. Maybe my thoughts are normally too rapid fire and the alcohol helps to slow them down a level transferrable into the oh so slow spoken word?
