A subliminal noise generator.  Don’t tell me you’ve never heard of a subliminal noise generator!

OK, you can read all about it here:

Men cannot use this technique because if/when they do they become blowhards.

Hmmmm.... does that mean we could all just carry around something that makes us feel uncomfortable?

In my case, a clown puppet with teeth.

Just pull it out, and sit there, staring at me, whenever I need to toot  my own horn?

I guess the black box would be less creepy, huh?

... the “subliminal noise generator” allowed women to blame the device for their feelings of discomfort from being immodest.

Kinda says it all, huh?
There's so much gunk and goo in that part of the sentence... that I relate to! LOL...

Tinnitus is kind of a subliminal noise generator,
and makes me more waspish. I never asked myself whether
when my tinnitus is up I am more outspoken at work -- but
I do have some toughness and speak truth to power at
times (not always, ain't that brave).

Maybe my courage has only appeared on ear-roaring days and I
never made the connection!

Hmm, interesting study, Doc G
:)
