or worse, stronger than him
so we can't tell that he hit you
so we don't have to pick up your slack

Speak your mind
as long as your voice isn't louder than his
or worse, too assertive or contradicting it

A Grain of Salt
A man, 20 years of age, another man, 40 years of age

The young man in his inexperience asks the 40 year old man
