What is the most disempowering word in the English language?

[Hoofbite]

I don't

It implies you are better than a person.

for example...

Subject a: I drink
Subject b: I don't

ect...

What......:laugh2:

Maybe it just says you don't do something.

What if subject a said: I help a lot of needy people.

Wouldn't there be a varible to any word?

Management gave me a raise.

Sounds like sophistry to me. There is no 'most disempowering word', just a theme that the guy wants to tout for the retreat. Your 'disempowering word' could be someone else's 'great thing'.

Though I'd give 'maybe' at least a B.

To me, Sir is the most disempowering word in the English language because it automatically cedes power to another by its very use.

My guess would be the word Yes ..

In almost every situation, replying with a "Yes" will either concede an intellectual or informational advantage you previously had over the questioner or will grant the questioner a higher level of control or authority over you.
