A woman told me, with lingering astonishment, of a conversation with her boyfriend. Knowing he had seen hisfriend Oliver, she asked, “What’s new with Oliver?” He replied, “Nothing.” 41 , later in the conversation it cameout that Oliver and his girlfriend had decided to get married. “That’s nothing?” the woman gasped in 42 .For men, “Nothing” may be a ritual 43 at the start of a conversation. A college woman missed her brother butrarely called him because she found it difficult to get talk going. A 44 conversation began with her asking, “What’sup with you?” and his replying, “Nothing.” Hearing his “Nothing” as meaning “There is nothing personal I want to talkabout,” she supplied talk by filling him in on her news and 45 hung up in frustration. But when she thought back,she remembered that later in the conversation he had mumbled, “Christie and I got into another fight.” This came so lateand so low that she didn’t pick up on it.
