I wish you could do word substitution in real life like you can with text substitution. If so, every time I heard "I don't have the data to back it up," it would become "I'm an idiot who doesn't know what I'm talking about but-"

But wouldn’t that be too long? At that point, you’d either have to speed it up or you’d have to push back everything else they were saying, causing you to be delayed.

I’d shorten it to “I’m making this the fuck up”.
