I'd rather have a conversation with someone who speaks honestly and openly, rather than with one who picks their words in an effort to appease or to avoid being/appearing unpleasing.
Old country folk, consequently, run at the top of my list of meaningful conversations.
I'm partial to "Strive to say what you mean and mean what you say, and you won't have to remember anything." That way the story will be the same no matter how long between the tellings.

Food for thought....there's a reason the new words and phrases are called "politically correct". Politics.
