verbal judo

The gentle art of persuasion, as defined by its creator, George Thompson.

I can subdue a rowdy kid with Verbal Judo in less time than it would take with a baseball bat.

Verbal judo

The way of using words as weapons. A profient practicioner can cut a rival down without physical attack. Strings together profanity in a creative and interesting way.

Don't mess with a blackbelt of verbal judo.

Verbal Judo

A means to dissuade impending violence. If it fails then crack the whip.

Feral left wing activists, frothing at the mouths, kept getting closer and more rabid... a bit of 'verbal judo' and they soon doubted they were up for some 'real' violence.
