👉 Dialogizing is the art of speaking without words, akin to being in a trance. It's when people say things that seem to come out of nowhere and leave you feeling like you just stumbled upon something strange.
The most famous example is from a comedy sketch by Dan Harmon (of "The Big Bang Theory" fame). In one episode, he starts his monologue with the line: "I'm not sure what I said."
This phrase conjures up the image of a person who's been speaking nonsense for an extended period without any real thought. It's a bit unsettling and amusing to watch because it feels like the speaker is in a trance, but at the same time, we're all just as bewildered by their self-assigned state.
"Talk about dialogizing!" you might shout to your friends during the next class on slang or humor.
