Our Love Language

This is a collaborative blog entry. You can find exact replica's of this entry on the following blogs: House Mom, Debsy and R.Mal

Everybody has a unique way of communicating with other people. Here, at Urban Promise, Vancouver, we like to ensure that the people around us know exactly what we are saying.

One of our favourite ways of doing this is by using the verbal device known as "Emphatic Repitition". Emphatic Repitition is a term coined by our very own Ms. Kristin Cato. Basically, when you feel the need to repeat a word/phrase that has just been said in conversation, repeat the word emphasising the individual syllables with a slightly higher pitched voice and a little more force.

Here is an example conversation. Names have been altered for the protection of the real life people involved.

Toby: Hey Fiona, What are you doing?

Fiona: I'm googling emphatic repitition

Toby (High pitched and slightly forced): Em-pha-tic Rep-i-ti-tion

Another element of our love language, which Matt Wall R.I.P contributed, is known as the "Grumbly Voice" and is often used to make a point. It is said with a strength and a confidence that can only come from God.

Here is a real-life situation, in which the Grumbly Voice was applied. Whilst doing the morning crossword

Ryan: Ok Matt, here's one for you

Matt: Hit me with it

Ryan: The clue is 'an X-rated dance'

Matt: Bump n GRIND!

Note that Grind was said with alot of emphasis and a slight, raspy grumbliness in the voice.

This is the love language of Urb-an Prom-ise. If you want to fit in, USE IT. BAM.
