Malienation


"Malienation" (no, not "alienation") is an interesting way to describe what some of us men do when we try to communicate with or relate to the opposite sex.

Encountered this term today on the CBS Early Morning Show.

Seems it derives from a new book titled "Brocabulary: The New Manifesto of Dude Talk," by Daniel Maurer.

Read Maurer's book and you'll encounter words like: banguage, brommunication ("the art of communicating in a brophisticated manner, with or about your brothers") and brologue (having a dialogue with your bros).

Dude Talk.

Malienation.

What next?
