When two friends talk, sometimes it becomes a tangled mess of idioms, metaphors, and nothing discernable to outside people. These conversations often come with a lot of smiles and laughs. There is something going on there, and its some sort of inside joke. Sometimes these jokes become absurd in their scopes, and make little sense to even the participants, they become a language unto themselves. I am grateful for all these Infinitely Inside Jokes.
I think these kind of jokes provide so much when we have them. They help great a bond between two people. After a while of being friends you can start to run out of small talk, these kinds of jokes can fill the space. They are also so fun to have. I think they deepen a relationship in a magical way.
This kind of language existed before memes but is in the same vein. It allows friends to have something special between themselves, without there being emotional weirdness. It is cool to have this language with a friend. It is also ever evolving and a constant battle of wit and metaphor. This kind of thing just adds a depth to friendship.
I am grateful for all the friends I can be silly and talk like this with. It’s an intellectual and playful freedom that is wonderful. This talk brightens the day and for that I am grateful. So in the words of Dathon… “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.”
