    They mentioned Bob Monkhouse, he was a Brilliant British Comedian and TV Show Host. No longer with us but he could make an instant joke about anything!

    What you do Nick is called the Chameleon Effect and it’s actually a sign of empathy and making a social connection with someone.

    You're right Nick. It is natural to imitate people and their behaviours. Intelligent species do it. Like parrots and other intelligent birds who mimic other species. It's not necessarily 'racist' or 'sexist' or 'ableist' or any other 'ist'. And as you say, the intention behind mimicking is the only debatable aspect. But as we don't necessarily know a person's intention it has become socially unacceptable to mimic others. So new terms are created that describe 'socially unacceptable behaviours'.

    Speaking of “Echolalia”… I’m Australian, been in the US 30+ years, and while I still have the accent, it’s thinned over the years. When I start talking “full Strine”, my wife knows I’ve been recently talking to the mates back in Oz. It’s like getting a refresher course.

    Humourous LAUGHTER is a medicine for the soul. Involuntary Laughing at a terrible situation, e.g. accident, is the soul trying to cope with the catastrophic situation and it is a nervous reaction, even then it is a curative response to the awful situation! LAUGHTER is good!😂

    Echopraxia (which might also be called echokinesis or echomotism) is actually an important part of development every advance animal lifeform goes through a stage if developmental growth by mimicking others.
    Watch developing babies and the young, there's videos everywhere of young children mimicking a limp or something similar from their patents.
    Most suppress it in later life as it's no longer cute and you get told to stop by the very people you used to mimic.
    But it's how we learn, how we develop skills, how we learn to interact and develop as individuals...

  • @watchreadplayretro
    @watchreadplayretro 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I agree with you Jodi, I got that smiling thing once, when trying not to cry or to keep feelings in. I was a teenager and my dad was having a right go at me about something and I just felt this nervous smile, it became a nervous smirk, and my dad was literally getting mad at me with the whole "you think this is funny!!!" and I could feel the edges of my lips shaking a little but beaming this big smile whilst I was being told off!!!
    In the end I had to explain, my dad didn't really believe me, but I did tell him that I simply couldn't help it, I couldn't stop it. That was a strange feeling because inside I was very sorry for whatever mischief I had caused and yet my smile was making me look like this smart ass kid smirking away at being told off.
    Oh and Nick, yep, I used to do this thing of mimicking slightly my voice to someone else if they had a different way of speech delivery about 30 years back and my ex told me about it, back then it wasn't so bad, but in this modern day luckily I don't do it as far as I know.
    Anyway! Great video as always, and imagine being one of the very few who not only don't laugh much but also don't have a narrative voice for thoughts, oh boy that must be so quiet inside their heads!

    I also suffer from echolalia, I think. I can't tell you how many time I've apologized to English speakers of various accents :D Luckily everyone so far has been good humoured about it once I explained that there's something wrong in me brain and I mean no offense :D

    Not to boast or anything but I can speak three languages other than English namely German, Turkish, and Arabic. And I have always struggled with speaking german to turks in germany when I knew very well they knew german but the sentences wouldn't come out right, suddenly turkish words start flowing out by themselves. I think this has something to do with the echolalia phenomenon.

    I also copy accents automatically. And people do sometimes assume you're mocking them. It's like being a parrot. sort of. Just can't help it. I've read that being musical has something to do with it.

    • @watchreadplayretro

      my old piano teacher back in the early 90s was a dear old Chinese lady in her early 80s , and I found myself noticing a staccato to her speech (Hong Kong Chinese way of talking, abrupt wording as if cutting the sound of the word short a little, clipping words at the end almost).
      I was around 15 or 16 at the time and didn't fully understand, so I used to play thing staccato style if she stopped me for some reason and explained.
      Strange adapting way of also saying to her "Oh. Ok. Sorry" short clipped words, these days would be seen as almost over the line and no respect, but it was a mimicking that I wasn't aware of, yes just like a parrot.
      Perhaps musical people can pick up a little more on the tempo of sentences as well as the tone and sounds, so yes yes fully agree!

    @THeDoMeTB 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    echolalia and echopraxia are not so uncommon symptoms of tourettes syndrom. more common or known are coprolalia and copropraxia, which is the urge to say something offensive or do offensive gestures respectively
    fun fact: that "lalia" part of the word has the same root as the female first name "Lara", which comes from the greek "lala" basically meaning "the one who talks a lot"
    also that "superiority theory" thing is basically just schadenfreude(literally joy of damage). its the heart of every fail compilation, with the subconscious effect of "thank god its them and not me"

    Get a cat, i used to live in a extreamly chocolate box cottage on the edge of a cricket green. Cricket greens have to be flat so when a Mole says hello, hello, hello etc. The crickiters loved our cat she would be nose touching mole hill and a few hours later half a mole would be at the doar.
    This cat Tigger was a rescue in Scotland and would not go outside ( we think its because her father was a rag tag rouge of the village). We then moved to a tiny hamlett in Surrey (huge culture shoke for us and the cat). But she loved Surrey loved being out, she would catch moles and mice, she got a bat out of the sky and a snake. Anyway get a cat.

The year a kid turns 13 is when the go to high school, though it can depend on the month you're born and what age you start school. I was held back and had to repeat a year in Primary school as I would have been too young to start high school. Complicated system back then.
