The Difference between a Monologue and a Soliloqui

"Leanne? Sorry to interrupt, Leanne, but I'm curious about something. I noticed you say the word correct a lot. When somebody says something that you agree with, you don't say 'yes' or 'uh-uh' or even 'you go, girl,' you say 'correct.' Well, it's sort of like a schoolteacher talking to a ten-year-old, you know? You're not actually agreeing or approving, it's as if the statement isn't valid until you deem it so. It's like you're an arbiter of the truth, it's a way of being smug and superior, Leanne, which is why so many fuckwits in the city use it, and now it's spread into the mouths of the spouses like some sort of contagion. Your kids will be saying it soon, from the backseat of the 4-wheel-drive Porsche, feeling safe and smug and superior. Buying a Porsche SUV for the sake of the kids' safety -- i don't think I've heard such transparently banal bullshit in my entire life."
