Of hope and love

What does “no comment” comment mean to you?

1. I agree, but I don’t really want to hurt your feelings, so I am trying to state my ‘neutrality’.
2. I do not agree, but again, I don’t want to offend you, so I am trying to state my so-called ‘neutrality’.
3. Too obvious.. wanna “tu xue” (vomit blood) sort of answer/comment so I better just say “no comment” to avoid haematemesis.
4. I wasn’t paying attention to what you were saying, so I had no choice but to pretend I heard.. so I replied, “no comment”. Sounds cool.

I’ve gotten that “no comment” episodes quite a bit recently. It triggered me to think what does the party actually want to say?

Is it a clear “duh” yes or is it a “no” but I don’t want to offend you answer? I must insist that when someone replies “no comment”, he or she does have a comment, after all. It is just the matter of whether it should be laid out or not.

So, if you ask me what is my comment on the Australian Open 2010.

“No comment..”

“No comment lah..”

“Really.. NO COMMENT!!!”

In actuality, I do have comments. I just don’t want to share it here, so I gave the lamest excuse – “no comment” reply. So, do you have any comments?? What are you trying to say? Just say!

Comments

no comment..

No comment also for when people want to keep the peace. Sometimes dirty laundry shouldn’t to be aired in public and should be resolved discretely. No point feeding the masses if it does not solve anything.

You will soon get used to having to use these jargons. In clinic today, I clerked this patient. I wrote ‘imodium’ but I should have written ‘loperamide’.
