Did an angel speak?

Did someone just fart? (rhetorical)
This is a humorous way of alluding to a fart that cannot be overheard when in company. It appears in James Joyce's "Portrait of the Artist of a Young Man" when a group of students are discussing various philosophical issues. One of them farts and another of the group asks him: "Did an angel speak?". It is also defined on FartNames.com as "any loud fart in church". Joyce obviously used it humorously, aware of its religious connotations.

mmm, it speaks to me

When you find yourself at one of those conceptual art exhibition but you're not sure what to make of said art, and you don't want to look like and idiot in front of the artist, you just say, mmm, it speaks to me.
Wow, the juxtaposition of the lava lamps and the life-sized styrofoam hippos is really captivating. Plus I love what the artist did with the texture of the non-toxic glue starbusts. Mmm, it speaks to me.
