Preparing a criminal defense
Monosyllabism isn't gonna make you look like a ********* at all now is it?
The point isn't whether one looks like a d bag or anything even more negative. It's an unfortunate recognition of the fact that, on some airlines, a pro-active criminal defense is needed. So, if (or when) the f/a decides to write-up that "monosylabic" customer (because her ego was bruised?) all she can say is "Officer, the customer would only answer me with a 'yes' or 'no' and that is why I feel he was a threat to me and everyone else on the plane!"
PS: For questions that can't be answered with a "yes" or "no," there's Michael Corlione's ("The Godfather") favorite line: "I am exercising my right to remain silent." If my understanding of the Magna Carta is correct, I believe this line works in the UK as well.
