Professor Wobble McTrifle Proves That 'I'm Not Mad' Actually Means 'I'm Extremely Mad And This Is A Defense Mechanism'
'The calmer the voice, the angrier the person,' McTrifle explained. 'It's science.'
Professor Wobble McTrifle has decoded the phrase 'I'm not mad.' 'It's a lie,' McTrifle explained. 'The speaker is furious. They're just saving it for later.' The study found that 'I'm fine' means 'I'm not fine' and 'we need to talk' means 'you're in trouble.' McTrifle's research assistant quit after being told 'I'm not mad' too many times. 'I'm fine,' the assistant said, slamming the door.
