Snout Out Now! 🐽

Snout Out Now! 🐽 

 

Telling someone to bow out of a conversation online or in-person comes in many forms and ways. An online discussion that had international participation was going in a thoughtful direction. At one point, someone disagreed with a comment and told another to "Snout out now!"

 

I had to giggle when hearing that phrase. First time for everything!

 

"Oh, look, he's really going to dish it out!"

 

People, when online have the propensity to spill everything, sharing wayyy too much of their personal or professional lives with complete strangers, many who are present strictly for the entertainment value or discourse. Use some restraint!

 

Here are 5 ways to tell someone, from polite to snarky, to bow out of a conversation:

1.  “Will talk to you about this at a future time." 

2.  "I appreciate your concern, but I can handle this.”

3.  "Despite what you might think, I'm not running a support group here."

4.  "Wow, you have such insightful opinions on absolutely everything, don't you?" 

5.  “Mind your bee’s wax!” A gardener's way to tell it like it is, simple to the point.

 

Remaining confidential means being the keeper of information. When a client opens up, revealing personal aspects of their lives, listen intently without prodding. Getting too nosey for your own purposes, may illicit a negative response.

 

"Sigh...Nothing more to see here, let's go."

 

Practicing a higher level of engagement etiquette when online or in-person (especially with clients) keeps everyone in good graces for the most part, otherwise, it's reasonable to be told to snout out or butt out.

I've never heard the phrase, "Snout out" but it's cute. Yes, there are times we must shut some conversations down.

Prying just for the sake of being curious is not okay. Now, if needing more information to sincerely help someone, that's a different story, Dr. Paula McDonald!

Your comment reminds me of a human resource manager I knew years ago when working for a casino, she was a mentor. Pat could tame troubled employees with few words and turn them completely around. I still wonder how she did that, Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400, magic had to be involved!

I love it!  The photo and the title literally made me lol.  I think I snorted 🐽. I am in the "where has this phrase been all of my life" group.  I promise to use it only on the TRULY deserving.  LOL

LOL BB👒💖🤭, that's hilarious and especially on social media, people do love to come out of the woodwork and get into the mix! 
My default answer to the 'buttinskis' of this world is
"I got it." and ignore them!

Sometimes, less words hit the mark without getting someone riled up, BB. ✨💖✨Besides, it's the internet and thank goodness most of them are that far away! 🥳
