5:11 Knowing about 0.0957 percent of anything legalistic, but having fun with language, this was amusing. If the phrase “talking into your jacket” is synonymous with “talking under your breath,” I think the appropriate word for that situation would be “MUTTERANCE.” I think “utterance” is acceptable, however archaic, in the situation of 803.2. If the students need to remember the actual phrase “utterance” for testing, I’d keep that clunky word and build onto it to facilitate memory, replacing “utterance,” with something comically visual like “an agitated ’SPUTTERANCE.’”
