How to Talk to Anyone 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships (Leil Lowndes) (z-lib.org)

Echoing at Parties
Let’s say you are at a party. It’s a huge bash with many different
types of people. You are first chatting with a lawyer who tells you
her 
profession
is often maligned. When it comes your turn to speak,
say 
profession
too. If you say 
job
, it puts a subconscious barrier
between you.
Next you meet a construction worker who starts talking about
his 
job
. Now you’re in trouble if you say, “Well, in my 
profession
. . .” he’d think you were being hoity-toity.
After the lawyer and the construction worker, you talk to sev-
eral freelancers—first a model, then a professional speaker, finally
a pop musician. All three of these folks will use different words for
their work. The model brags about her 
bookings
. The professional
speaker might say 
bookings
, but he is more apt to boast of his 
speak-
ing engagements
. A pop musician might say, “Yeah, man, I get a lot
of
gigs
.” It’s tough to memorize what they all call their work. Just
keep your ears open and echo their word after they say it.
Echoing goes beyond job names. For example if you are chat-
ting with a boat owner and you call his boat an 
it
, he labels you a
real landlubber. (He reverently refers to his beloved boat, of
course, as a 
she
.) If you listen carefully, you hear language sub-
tleties you never dreamed existed. Would you believe using the
wrong synonym for a seemingly uncomplicated word like 
have

labels you a know-nothing in somebody else’s world? For exam-
ple, cat lovers purr about 
having
cats. But horse people would say
owning
horses. And fish folk don’t 
own
fish. They talk about 
keep-
ing
fish. Hey, no big deal. But if you use the wrong word, your
conversation partner will assume, correctly, that you are a stranger
in his or her hobbyland.
