Quote from Wilson in Reach Out and Teach Someone
Tim: We got into this big argument when I tried to teach her some basic plumbing. Wilson: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Tim: Just simple stuff, you know: coupling, flange, the trap. Wilson: Well, Tim. I think the problem might be your metamessage. Tim: That would be "message" with "meta" on the front of it. Wilson: Yes, sirree Bob. Two Ms, three Es, two As, two Ss, T and a lonely little G. Tim: You have an awful lot of spare time, don't you, Wilson? Wilson: You see, Tim, when men teach women, they tend to use complicated, technical terms to make themselves appear superior. Thus saying to the woman "you are inferior".
