#British #English has its own meanings for "quite good" and "not bad". This is the result of British #politeness demanding #irony and #understatement because they can't just express a straightforward opinion.

On #WDR TV there´s just been an etiquette expert in a talkshow. Mom always said "How do you say?" when me or my 2 siblings asked "Can I have...?", first when we corrected ourselves by saying "Can I PLEASE have...?" we got what we aked for.

My Greatest Generation grandad had one rule to never run out of things to say in conversation My grandad was, simply put, the man. He fought in World War II, lived into his 90s with the strength and vigor of a much younger man, and made an unforgettable impression on everyone who knew him. He was truly a force of nature that I was lucky to have in my life. He was also a highly quotable man, full of incredible one-liners. When my family would visit and he was ready to wrap things up, he'd cheekily say, "Well, we certainly have seen you," and, "Come again when you can't stay so long." **MyGreatest Generation grandad also loved to entertain. Though not a man of many words, he was a legendary host. His advice to us grandkids about being a great conversationalist was always the same:** **"Always ask the last question."** Can you believe there was a time that being polite and of high-character was more important than being charismatic?Canva Photos That was it. That was his key to never running out of things to say in a conversation. It sounds extremely obvious, but you'd be surprised how counter it runs to a lot of the advice young people are getting now. In certain sectors, the name of the game is all about how to be more charming and more charismatic. "Self-help" forgets that the real key to being interesting is being _interested_ in what the other party has to say. What made my grandad's execution of this simple concept great was his confidence in the fact that they didn't have to be great questions. He would just keep asking them, like a steamroller. He knew that, if he kept it up, he'd eventually hit on something that would launch a deeper and more interesting discussion. Conversations began logistically: _How was the drive? What time did you leave? Was there any traffic? Where'd you stop to eat? What did you order?_ Before you knew it, you were off and running. That was the beauty of the technique. Of course, asking questions is not new advice. It's a strategy that's been around forever, and it's still preached heavily today by psychologists and master small-talkers. **But anybody who's been in conversation with another human being lately knows that a lot of people are really bad at this and only want to hear themselves talk._The Guardian _calls them "non-askers." And they're everywhere.** In 2015, _Harvard Business Review_ shared that about 70-80% of what children say is made up of questions, but that number plummets dramatically in adults. It's like we lose our inherent curiosity somewhere along the way, and we pay for it in the way we relate to, or don't, with others. You don't have to do much research to see how big of a problem this is becoming, from people lamenting horrid first dates where they can't get a word in edgewise, to an excruciating lack of self-awareness from people in the working world who just...won't. stop. talking. Asking good questions: The original party trick.Canva Photos **Why is this simple advice so hard to follow?** In _Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking_ , author Susan Cain writes that the idea of "having a good personality" is a pretty modern invention. She says that the Western world transformed at some point from a culture of character to a culture of personality, timed around the rise of salesmen and the corporate world. In that burgeoning culture, being charming, charismatic, and a great storyteller was crucial to your success. We think it makes us impressive to know all the answers, have the best stories, anecdotes, or fun facts to share about every topic. In fact, appearing that way can often be the key to getting ahead at work and making more money. We want to be the one holding court at a party, making guests laugh with our clever jokes and monologues, because we equate that image with popularity, success, and belonging. - YouTube youtu.be But it wasn't always this way. My grandad came from a time in the old South where good etiquette and manners were more important than being incredibly charming. In the late 1800s, Professor Thomas E. Hill wrote in _The Essential Handbook of Victorian Etiquette,_ "Do not aspire to be a great storyteller. An inveterate teller of long stories becomes very tiresome. To tell one or two witty, short, new stories, appropriate to the occasion, is about all that one person should inflict upon the company." Etiquette of the era also dictated not bragging about your connections or accomplishments, and not using highfalutin words to sound smarter than you really are. Some funny ones include parents not telling too many stories about their kids (preach!) and avoiding using too many puns. Now, my grandad didn't exactly grow up in Victorian England—more like Great Depression-era America—but you can get a sense of how our priorities have changed since 1900 to today. There were a lot of things about that time period in the United States that weren't so great, but that emphasis on making other people feel comfortable and heard in social settings instead of advancing your own status and standing, would be a welcome return. Luckily, it's easy to do it even today. Just ask a question, literally any question, and you'll already be doing way better than most people. They don't call them the Greatest Generation for nothing! episode 19 tank GIF Giphy _This article originally appeared in July._

People Share The Most Polite Ways To Say 'I Want You To Go Home Now' Whether we're introverts, people pleasers, or highly sociable, we still all understand that feeling of being tired and wanting to say, 'That's a wrap!" at the end of the day. But sometimes, we get that feeling while we still have guests in our home, and we have to figure out what to say to get them out of our house, just so we can get some sleep. **Ready to take notes, RedditorcimpliDBEST asked:** > _"What's the most polite way to say, 'I really want you to go home now'?"_ ### Just Be Honest _"Honestly, the best way is to essentially say, 'It's been a long day, and I'm tired, mind if we call it a night?'"_ _"Most people will understand, but if they don't, then that's on them, and you won't feel bad about being a little less polite."_ - DonJonBonJovi ### The Midwestern Goodbye _"In the Midwest, we just say, 'Welp...' while slapping both knees with both hands before standing."_ _"Everyone knows and respects what that means."_ - Luna_Gaze _"__I thought the Midwest Goodbye meant that the act of departing would take another two hours?"_ - Mekroval _"__Correct! 'Welp' initiates the delicate cycle of a Midwestern exit. After the 'welp,' you stand up and talk for another 15 minutes. Then chat at the door, the front step, and finally next to the car."_ - thewonderfulinternet ### Keeping You _"Just say, 'Welp, I don't mean to keep ya.'"_ - AskDerpyCat _"It's as good as, 'Let me let you go' while ending a phone call."_ - ReadilyReady _"My dad always says, 'Welp, I'll cut ya loose.'"_ - copernica ### Spectrum Confusion _"After hearing 'I don't mean to hold you up,' my undiagnosed Autistic a** would respond, 'Oh, it’s no problem, I don’t have any plans,' for years and years before I realized what this meant."_ - holymolym _"Yeah, same, and now I know that I missed the cues so often I fear that I’m missing them now so constantly worry I’m not wanted where I am. The best way anyone can tell me is clearly."_ _"I find my other cue-missing friends the most comfortable people to spend time with because we will say, Okay, time for you to go,' and the replies are like, 'Oh, perfect! Thanks, see ya,' because knowing they can and will tell you means not trying to guess when the polite time to leave is."_ _"And the ones that blow it out of the park and give you directions on what to do /where to be whenever there are options, it’s like a holiday from trying constantly to work s**t out, like, 'I’m going to make a platter, come into the kitchen and talk to me while I do,' or, 'I’m going to make a platter, you guys stay here and chat.'"_ - Weekly-Profession987 ### Past Tense Conversations _"'This was nice. We should get together again sometime.'"_ - InspectorNo1173 _"Past tense to the rescue!"_ - sqqueen2 _"I know this isn't what this thread is about, but I love being open about this with people I care about and just... being honest. On the drive home from my first date with my now-husband-of-15-years, he said he had a great time and was beat but wanted to see me again. That turned into a conversation about what some of our favorite parts of the date were and planning our next date."_ _"With my closest friends, I'm very clear that I'm tired but that I had a great time and want to do this again soon. When I can, I'll ask them right there when we CAN do it again, so we can keep each other on our calendars."_ - TheBookishAndTheBard ### Time To Hit The Hay _"__My grandpa used to say to my gramma, 'Old woman, we should get on up to bed so these nice people can go home.'"_ - YogurtClosetWrong268 _"I’ve used, 'You don’t have to leave, but I need to go to bed,' when we’d have people over, and I had to get up early for work or when my daughter was little and was an awful sleeper."_ - notreallyonredditbut ### Kids Come In Handy _"__I utilize my child. 'It’s getting close to bedtime!' People immediately get nervous about disrupting a strict sleep schedule, so they bolt out the door."_ - StellaSanti _"Kids are a fantastic excuse for getting out of things you don't want to do."_ - FennIt _"I know a couple like this. I'm close friends with them, but they're pretty antisocial from nearly everyone else's point of view."_ _"__I dunno if the rest of the neighbourhood buys that their seven-year-old goes to bed at 5:00 PM, but they're gonna keep using that excuse until someone calls them out."_ - Tsu_Dho_Namh ### Grandma's Honesty _"My grandma says, 'I've seen you, you've seen me... Now go home,' and stands by the door."_ - Forsaken-Panic1885 _"Boss f**kin' move!"_ - straylight _"I think I need to use this line once I have nine cats, dye my hair purple, and master the art of sourdough."_ _"And I'm assuming your grandma is a lovely lady and is either rough around the edges or simply very blunt with people she's comfortable with, which I TOTALLY identify with."_ - 747JJJH ### The Kitchen Glare _"'Phew, that kitchen is a MESS!'"_ _"Then I proceed to start clanking around dirty dishes and plates and glasses in the sink and shooting daggers at the guest until they realize it’s either leave or help clean up the kitchen."_ _"__The way my parents did it all my life, and even long before I was even thought of LOL and it WORKS, trust me."_ - JD94funnyguy _"__I don’t know why, but I’ve tried this one multiple times, and it’s never worked for me! But at least I end up with a clean kitchen to wake up to the next morning, even if I’m tired."_ - GamesQueen61 ### Never Gonna Give You Up... But Gonna Let You Sleep _"I like to say, '__I have to get up early tomorrow. Let's call it a night.'"_ - --Rick--Astley-- _"But you said you'd never turn around and leave me."_ - monsieurkaizer _"I said this to someone once, and yet they didn't leave and stayed for another hour, until I said, 'Please go.'"_ - Amazing-Impress-5372 ### Seriously, Past My Bedtime _"'It’s already past my bedtime, folks! It’s good to see you, but see you another day! Get home safe!'"_ _"It s_ _till might take another half hour for them to all leave, but it gets the point across."_ - Chad_Hooper _"My friend said it was past her bedtime."_ _"I was immediately like, 'Well, time to go,' when no one else got it."_ - carlirodriguez8 ### Humor Goes A Long Way _"Saying, 'I love you, but [reason for ending the night, like, I'm exhausted, we have an early morning, etc]. So get out of my house,' works well. Usually, people laugh and head home after a round of hugs."_ _"__You gotta say it with sincere love, and it works best with people you know well."_ - LunarAnxiety _"__I’m going to start using this everywhere. Especially work meeting wrap-ups and to the small talk streamers, the line whilst making groceries."_ - g0ldilungs ### Always A Good Reason _"'I should really get going before I'm too tired to drive,' is a great option."_ _"If you have a cat, you can say, 'I need to get home and feed my cat,' or perhaps, 'If I leave my cat alone too long, he gets mad and s**ts in my bed.'"_ - Eddie_Farnsworth ### Channel Jane Austen _"Say, '__My dearest, do be an angel and toddle off home now, won’t you? It’s frightfully late and quite beyond the bounds of civility to linger.'"_ - InkAndFlavor _"I feel like this will only work if I employ my best British accent and send them away with a basket of warm muffins."_ - Responsible-Hater ### Time To Be Blunt _"These days, I just straight up say it. I spent my whole life being a people pleaser."_ _"About two years ago, I had an epiphany. I can directly communicate what I want, and that's okay. If someone asks me to do something and I don't want to, I say no. If asked why, 'I don't want to.' No excuse needed."_ _"If I want to leave a situation, I say, 'I am leaving now. Goodbye,' and then I go. I've noticed that if it's a big gathering, other people appreciate it. Once one person has made the move to leave, other people feel more confident saying, 'I should get going, too.'"_ - AriasK Everyone gets tired and reaches a point where they want to be alone and get some sleep, and according to these Redditors, it's okay to be honest about it! But if you feel like that's too direct, there are many kind, honest, and humorous options here that will get your inner peaople pleaser out of the way and help you get to bed faster.

They are so polite and professional that their parents would be so proud

#politeness goes a long way🙏

The simple fact is, a properly-functioning society has always depended on #politeness. And all it took to bring it all crashing down was a few selfish assholes deciding they could just barge in and grab anything they wanted, and everyone would be too shocked to do anything about it.
