Woman 1: Where were you last night? Woman 2: I thought it was tomorrow. Woman 1: Last night. I can't believe you weren't there. Woman 2: Are you sure? I coulda sworn... hmm... I dunno... can't imagine... Woman 1: You skimmed my tweet! Woman 2: Maybe if you weren't so long-winded.

“All propaganda must be popular and its intellectual level must be adjusted to the most limited intelligence among those it is addressed to…. effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans… As soon as you sacrifice this slogan and try to be many-sided, the effect will piddle away, for the crowd can neither digest nor retain the material offered. In this way the result is weakened and in the end entirely cancelled out.” -Mein Kamph, Chap. 6.
