By giving a character a name that sounds like something, the writer can hint at or emphasize a character's trait(s). Character names (charnames) let writers say things indirectly. A character's name can be political, sexy, musical, funny, or anything else, and accomplish any intended purpose. Any word can be a person's name, and any first name can be paired with any last name. A middle name can be one letter, as in "Johnny B. Good". Letters alone are also effective, as in "J.R.", or "U.R. Ugly" or "U.R. The Best" or "Dount B.A. Fool"—the possibilities are endless. The letters B (be), C (see), G (gee), O (oh), P (pee), R (are), U (you), and Y (why) sound like a word. Letters also sound like and remind people of things. For example, the letter X reminds people of sex, and is often used in brand names, as in "Exxon". "Spok" sounds like "spook", "spooky", or "spike". "Kirk", sounds like "quirk". "Poppins" says or hints at "pop in" or "pops in". "Colonel Klink" reminds people of "kink" or "kinky". Though individual members of audiences make certain subconscious connections between character's names and the things they imply, most people never ask themselves what might be behind, beneath, or connect to a character's name.

If there is only one woman in town, as long as she is not ugly or old, she will attract the men and be desired. The moment other women are in town, each man finds himself comparing them to decide which one he likes more and get her to want him.
Based on the quantity of a specific thing or things, such as fruits, shoes, whatever, are available in a town, how desirable each is to people varies depending on how many they have to choose from.

It's so funny, and it took me years to comprehend what is going on in me, but I finally articulated the feeling and call it Relative Desirability.

With their social interaction skills atrophied, the only way they can satisfy their innate need to interact with others is by consuming products.
Though he had read every book on his wall-to-wall bookshelf and was exceptionately intelligent, like most Americans, product-produced isolation had gotten him to only interact with his family members, rarely interact with other human beings, and satisfy his innate need to interact with others by purchasing products—such as his automobile, from which he came to derive his, in reality, dwindling self-esteem, identity and health by not walking. He also purchased one of the most powerful revolvers, books, watches, and other things, some of which he collected. But all that only led to his declining mental state, and to feel good he became an alcoholic. After attending Alcoholics Anonymous for a number of years, he stopped drinking and became an expensive cigar addict.

Get the product-produced isolation mug.A masked psychological technique applied perhaps intuitively by members of the dominant race, class, or ethnicity in society primarily by denying eye-contact, ignoring, and sometimes pretending to be a non-person or seeming to be unhappy or even angry at their victim for no apparent reason to intimidate, injure, disempower and put-down members of society's less powerful groups.
The descendants of the currently dominant race which invaded and occupied that part of the world apply the psychological technique social scientists call "attention deprivation" (denying their victims eye-contact, ignoring them, and sometimes pretending to be very unhappy or even angry at them for no reason) to dominate the descendants of the people who inhabited that part of the world thousands of years before them.
