Not Clear on the Concept: an Introduction

Every day, millions of people make the grave error of assuming they know what they are talking about when in actuality, they have not a clue. These people are the cause of tense and awkward situations, creepy, silent pauses, the sound of lone laughter misunderstood by everyone else in the conversation, and horrified stares. This, and so much more, is the result of being not clear on the concept.

We two are dedicated to bringing these moments into the light and displaying them here on the internet. It's not that we enjoy the misunderstandings that generate bad jokes, but we hope that by showing them to the world, the world will learn to know what the world is saying before the world says anything. We’re also looking also for interesting and funny examples of people trying to address an unclear concept in a way that amuses us or makes us question. We’re not all simple, sometimes things are just not that clear!

NCOTC continues in the vein of such people as Damon Wayans, whose In Living Color character Oswald Bates taught us to think about that big word before we used it. Also, it reflects upon Indigo Montoya's brilliant line in The Princess Bride where he notes Vizzini's use of the word inconceivable, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Think of us what you will, but we're just trying to stay clear on the concept.
