sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me is it a true saying?

I or anybody else can't make you feel anything, it's how they react to the names being called.

That was what I was taught when I was in the Priory amongst many other things.

What if, a stone has 'names' written on it....

What if it's a word carved out of stone?

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

And stands for everybody else too.

Offense is always taken, never given.

If only it were that easy...

It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation there I guess.

Once you realise it is actually that easy, then it is actually that easy

You could break someone's bones if you shouted very, very loud.

Wouldn't this be more to do with the Pitch rather than amplitude?

Dunno, let's try it.

Ok but we'll need a Victi... erm... "Test Subject"

Surely the blast wave from an explosion is essentially a really loud noise...

Not only sound but all sorts of other waves are released in an explosive reaction so while you're technically correct it only accounts for a fraction of the pressure released.

I think it's a stupid saying and just makes people want to kick your teeth instead of shout meaningless names at you

Not so surprising technically they are asking for it
