Gregor's parents asked him how he liked the concert last night. Gregor responded with,
"Wow, it was totally bad! I'm going out to get their CD.
" His parents wonder, "If the concert
was bad, why would you want to get their CD?" Explain the language barrier most likely
involved in this exchange.
What will be an ideal response?
Bypassing occurs when the same word has a different meaning for different people. In
this case the word bad is used by Gregor to actually mean good, reflecting a meaning unique to
his generation or peer group. The parents understand the meaning of bad as not good.
