What Star Parker says here sounds great, but i am worried it is just phatic

The business leadership looked at us in phatic disbelief as we rattled off a litany of acronyms while describing the outage over the weekend.

Phatic - the “bedroom” where you keep your obese aunt.

(must be pronounced “ont” in this definition, for some reason)

Phatic

When she says ,”Do these jeans make me look phatic?” then those jeans should have stayed in the attic!

This phatic point needs to be emphasized over and over.

In that situation you can be entirely literal and honest.

“No”

(those jeans don’t make you look fat)

Now that the “I” word is phatic
(Impeachment, if I must be emphatic)
Will the RINOs join in?
No, they’ll let Barry win
So afraid of creating some static
