Activity Names

Name something done if you want to do more or less of it. Part of acquiring skills include consciously discussing them as elements or parts of a system.

An example from real life moments ago:

She: My giraffe bags should arrive today.

He: Oh, that's nice.

She: I thought you would say, what bag is big enough to hold a giraffe?

He: I'm well aware of the giraffe lifestyle.

She: But your humor?

He: Yes, I do like to intentionally misinterpret things.

Two things were named in this brief conversation. Each captured the bounds of familiar family habits, a preferences for a favorite animal, and, humor that exploits the ambiguity of language. The naming of the habits and their approving use confirmed that a category of habits were acceptable. wikipedia
