@richlitt exactly. it’s oFteN all abOut the hidden lizaRDs.

@imtboo nicely done; good example. (but it’s not *that* hard to say!)

Just coined a linguistics word: “steganopragmatics”, useful to describe (e.g.) irony, sarcasm, dog-whistle politics. (“hidden+meaning”)

@theDivaLea to be honest, I want to read that comic (Red State Machine) now. Just don’t let the glibertarians write it.
