I just don't get it. I'm probably wrong but it seems like people might sometimes try to be cryptic or mysterious in an effort to get some kind of "upper-hand" when intimidated in some way and feeling unable to compete or match up in any other way. I am not sure or suggesting that is happening here definitely, but it almost seems like an effort is being made to be unclear to make me confused or something.
Like, prayer is a word with a meaning, or so I thought, and if one is simply not using that meaning, how the heck am I supposed to know what or how they do this other thing which they insist on calling "prayer"?
It simply sounds like bull excrement or mockery. Like saying, oh, check out my boat, and then I say Ok when?
Boat guy: Now.
Idiot: How?
Boat guy: its right in front of you.
Idiot: I don't see any boat.
Boat guy: Its me!
Idiot: What?
Boat guy: I'm a boat!
Idiot: Isn't a boat something different?
Boat guy: Me too though, I'm a boat.
Idiot: Alright I guess, but its not what most people would understand a boat to be.
Boat guy: Who cares what most people say or think, I'm a boat, and now you know.
Idiot: I'm a bit iffy about adopting this extra usage for the word.
Boat guy: Well you will be better off if you submit to my whims!
Idiot: Now that is something I understand and can relate to, we are not so different after all.
Boat guy: Well you do look like ship to me.
Idiot: Thank you. Thank you?
Boat guy: Anchor.
