Jody Hughes<p>I had occasion yesterday to answer a question with ‘it’s hard to say’. And afterwards, ruminating on why I said that, it occurred to me how abstracted and ambiguous it is as a statement, though it appears simple. </p><p>It literally means ‘I have difficulty uttering the word(s)’ which in this sense could apply to a tongue-twister. </p><p>But mostly people use it to mean a number of related things. ‘I don’t know the answer’ or ‘it’s difficult to explain (what I think)’ or ‘the answer is more complex than your question presupposes.’</p><p>I found, though, that I was using it to mean ‘your question concerns an issue I have some emotional difficulty with, and so I am not able at the present time to commit to an answer.’ 😂</p><p><a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/wordplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wordplay</span></a></p>
