Able to
convert one's thoughts and emotions

(adj) Well-spoken, possessing a talent for
lucid and effortless speech.
A secret racial slur against blacks. When a black person delivers an impressive speech, interview, or story and is complimented as
articulate, their temper will boil on sight. The
tenuous implication being, you were surprised they could even speak.
Example:
"...and those are the biggest ways
Aristotle differed from
Plato's teaching."
"I have to agree, that was quite an articulate discourse"
"WHAT YOU TALKIN BOUT
KRACKA??"

The way in which someone speaks. If they have bad articulation, it is generally thought that this person is an
imbecile. If they
articulate themselves well, you may continue to
converse with them.
Example:
Bad articulation: "Like, I love the way that the colours
in the sky are like totally pretty. I wonder if that's because of the
atmosphere or some shit."
Good articulation: "The colours in the sky are fantastic, and very beautiful. Maybe it's because of the atmosphere that they are this way."

Example:
"yesterday i was eating a
late dinner with a group of people and one
guy's girlfriend started telling a story about
her friend's boyfriend. she referred to him as "this really articulate black guy" when she first introduced him in the story, and she called him articulate four more times before she was done. it was embarrassing enough on its own, but there were two black guys at the table."

When talking about
urban vinyl (designer
toys), articulations are
joints (movable arms, legs, head, ...).
Example:
Baby Balls is my favorite toy of
the line. This guy has a style that
I can relate to. He has three points of articulation and comes with a bottle of cheap beer that is always full.

A
big word that
fills space in a sentence when one doesn't really know what he or she is talking about, i.e. an excuse for sounding dumb when trying to sound smart. Heard most often in art schools or
cinema study classes.
Example:
I think
Herzog's last film was... well the direction was...
I don't know if I can articulate this well...
I may not articulate this well, but
the piece says so much by saying so little.

articulation mechanics
by but for on Dec 25, 2017 12:51:17
The process of
selecting the words which will best express one's thoughts and/or emotions,
ordering and reordering those words
in one's head, writing them down.
Example:
Unable to, as usual, easily put an idea she 'felt'
into words, Serenata applied 'articulation mechanics' by
selecting the words that best expressed her idea, ordering and reordering them in her head, and writing them in a
notebook. She called that mental and physical process articulation mechanics.
Premature Articulation
by GD Daddy for Trixy on Sep 24, 2019 09:21:46
When someone interrupts you while you are
talking but what they have to say has
nothing to do with what you were talking about. Someone who talks out of
turn.
Example:
ME: My boss
fired me the other day because I kept interrupting him when he was trying to tell me
what to do.
YOU: Sounds like
you suffer from Premature Articulation.
