  What does it mean to “waffle”?

    Either to take a very long time to get to the point, or to go off on a tangent.

    Writing concisely is a lost art, it seems.

      I did not have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead

      I write concise until i started giving fiction writing a try. Suddenly writing concise was a negative :x (not always obviously but a lot of times I found that I wrote too concise).

        IDK that kinda depends on the writer and their style. Concise is usually a safe bet for easy reading, but doesn’t leave room for a lot of fancy details. When I think verbose vs concise I think about Frank Herbert and Kurt Vonnegut for reference.

    To “waffle” comes from the 1956 movie Archie and the Waffle house. It’s a reference how the main character Archie famously ate a giant stack of waffles and became a town hero.

      Hahaha let’s keep going with Archie and the Waffle House hallucinations

      To “grill” comes from the 1956 movie Archie and the Waffle House. It’s a reference to the chef cooking the waffles, which the main character Archie famously ate a giant stack of, and became the town hero.

  I feel like that might have been the point. Rather than “using a car to go from A to B” they walked.
