Mm-Hmm. I Know What You’re Doing.

What it does

Maneuver quietly acknowledged without granting it the drama of direct confrontation.

Use it when

  • Someone's motive is transparent.
  • A subtle tactic has been noticed.
  • You want the other person to know the disguise failed.

For example

  1. Your friend compliments your car before asking for an airport ride.
  2. The cat purrs beside the unattended salmon.
  3. A committee member praises consensus before reopening the vote.
