Social Context Rube

Someone who fails to grasp how the larger overstructure in one's country is designed to reduce his ability to choose freely and explore the realm of possibility, or someone is totally subject and ignorant to what arguments belie the things being said in conversation.

Johnathan seriously thinks he's going to pick his next place to live from a map, after his city's economy has cycled downward due to policy changes. Even moreso, he has no clue what everybody is really doing for money and the utilities for the next two years. Johnathan is an example of a social context rube.

Example II:

John often finds nothing to think about when he enters the dog park because he finds people throwing random words at each other, and looking off into seemingly nowhere. In response, he just sort of sits there and when he talks, he makes footnotes about what people say, while failing to see the assumptions and arguments being put forth. As a consequence, he takes every assumption thrown at him, being ping-ponged back and forth.

Context

"You could take it out of context and make either point!" Is that what you think you're doing?

Hym "Because I didn't take you out of context at all. I don't have to constantly conflate the literal and the metaphorical just so I can avoid addressing the fundamental truth claims of the bible. And in regards to you using my work, the true part of my work is the conclusions I draw. Andy outlines what you're doing perfectly. I'm saying 2+2=4. You're saying 2+2=5. The creator of the universe either spoke to humans... Or it didn't. If it didn't.... The religion is a lie. You don't need unearned authority... You needed... To kill yourself. That's what YOU need to do. Burn all the books. Just into the fire. Burn there forever."

conversation-context nicknaming

Da uproarious act of playfully referring to yer present-company individual by one or more words dat he has just said to ya in yer back-and-forth light-banter-speech, often to jokingly mean dat ya think dat da other person either is presently being silly or is silly-natured overall. For example, if ya are having "huggy-roughhousing" fun wif a pretty girl by folding her legs up, plopping her cute warm rubbery feet against yer chest, gripping her hands to both savor their warm softness and steady yerself, and then leaning forward to press her knees against her chest while smilingly saying, "Squish-ish-ish-ish-squish-squash!", said "folded-up" chick gigglingly retorts, "YOU'RE a 'squish-squash'!"

Another example of conversation-context nicknaming would be if ya eye-twinklingly warbled, "Ding-dong!" to someone inside a building after ya had passed through an electric-eye-equipped door and thus rang an electric bell on yer way in, and da person inside chuckled back, "YOU'RE a 'ding-dong'!" Or if ya and a friend were assembling/servicing something together, and ya said, "Since we'll likely be needing to frequently loosen and tighten this particular fastening, I think we might want to use a wingnut here," yer helper "jumped at da chance" to toss a playful barb yer way by responding, "YOU'RE a wingnut!"
