Oh, well ... yeah, it's uuhhh ...

sorry, well, hmmmmm, not usually at a loss of words like this, but ... well,
it's sort of like metaphor or something, ummm, or like an analogy or
imagery. Yes, THAT'S THE WORD; IT'S JUST IMAGERY!

oh ... yeah, hmmm, "imagery" ... well sorta hard to define, or describe,
but ...
i promise you, that scholar wasn't trying to say you were crippled or
anything like that ... at least not physically anyway, i'm sure ... really,
it's nothing like that at all; trust me!
