Some of you have probably seen the phrase “slipknot insert coin”. It’s something that I always thought was kind of funny when I was a little girl. Since I’ve been in the business of helping people connect with other people, I’ve come to realize that the phrase is so much more than that. It’s a statement about two different types of people that I find really fascinating.
Well, you may not remember this, but I used to teach a course titled “The Social Mind.” That course was about how and why we find people and organizations that we feel are similar to us funny, but also important. One of the professors in the class was a man named John Kornblum. At first I thought he was a bit of a weirdo, but he talked about his research on how we connect in a human context.
The other Professor was a person named Jason who was the most fascinating Professor in the class because he was able to give a lecture on the social issues that lead to the social structure of the society he was learning about. Not that I ever thought Jason was a dick, but you could see the professor’s face with one of his glasses.
The class ended with a coin. Kornblum put a coin in the professor’s hand and said, “This is an act of respect, Professor.” The professor replied, “Well, I suppose it is, but it’s not really.” Kornblum didn’t take the coin, apparently because he knew it wasn’t actually the professor’s coin.
Kornblum then took the coin and put it in his pocket, and they both knew that this was a very bad situation.
Apparently, it’s not just Kornblum. It’s a coin in the professor’s pocket, and it’s not just a small coin either. Slipknot has a secret coin in his pocket, and no doubt it’s a secret because the coin is very obvious. He’s saying how he’s the only guy on the network with a secret coin, and the coin is very obvious, so no one can steal it.
If you can’t understand it, then why are you trying to steal it? As it turns out, there are not only many examples of students stealing coins, but also much larger coins that people have left behind to use for other purposes.
Your phone’s a digital phone, so when you want to talk to a friend, you have to have a phone in your pocket. Not only does it have to have an internet connection, it also has a GPS that can track you.
It is so obvious that everyone understands the concept of a digital phone. It’s like a physical wallet, except it’s a more secure one. It also has a GPS that can track you and also has a hidden compartment in which you can store a lot of cash. So if you have a pocket full of dollars and coins, you can take it with you and not bother anyone.
