#MealyMouthed

This tweet met with these responses:

I confronted an Irish women yesterday in Camden. I asked her to explain Bono. She said "Nothing to do with me". A mealy mouthed reply.

I confronted an egg in the produce aisle. Asked it to explain Twitter trolls. It said nothing, because it was an egg. A mealy mouthed reply.

Confronted a Muslim woman yesterday in Croydon. I asked her to explain Brussels. She said "they're like really small cabbages". Seems fair.

and it is a pretty good new mini-literary genre.




So I gave it a try:

 Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Cap of the Bengladesh 11

I confronted a Muslim Bengladeshi cricket player, home captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, to explain the cricket match in Bengaluru, India.

Bengladesh, chasing 147 for victory in the Group Two match, and making a perfect start, then lost three wickets off the final three deliveries, allowing a jubilant India team to scrape over the line to climb to second in the table!

He said "In a situation like this it's literally chaos,” said captain Dhoni.
“What you're trying to do is trying to manage chaos. You have to assess everything but it has to happen in a short span of time.”

A mealy mouthed reply.
