LUNGREN: Mr. Speaker, I ask that the gentleman's words be taken down once more.
Anthony Weiner
WEINER: You really don't want to go there, Mr. Lungren. [...]
Anthony Weiner
The speaker must choose a comprehensible [verstandlich] expression so that speaker and hearer can understand one another.
Jurgen Habermas‎
There [is] no little vigour and force added to words, when they are delivered in a neat and fine way, and somewhat out of the ordinary road, common and dull language relishing more of the clown than the gentleman. But herein also affectation must be avoided; it being better for a man by a native and clear eloquence to express himself, than by those words which may smell either of the lamp or inkhorn.
Edward Herbert
"When I called the Right Hon. Member for Plymouth, Devonport (Dr. Owen) a pompous sod, Mr. Speaker said to me, 'You had better withdraw that'. I said I would withdraw 'pompous', but said, Mr. Speaker 'That's not the word I'm looking for.' There was laughter in the House and everyone thought that I had hit the nail on the head. I thought that that was a real parliamentary triumph, but Mr. Speaker thought differently. He said, 'Off you go,' and I did not get a chance to reply."
