pronoun maze

Noun. Part of a conversation wherein the excessive use of pronouns (he, she, they, it, this, what) makes listeners lost. Also called extreme "high context" speech.

- "Wait! He hit you? Who hit you? Jeff or Tim?" "No, it was Sam. Sorry for the pronoun maze. I hate it when others do that to me, too."
- "You ran into 'him'?" "No. Into 'her'. 'He' was watching." "With 'them'? I thought 'they' had left." "Yeah, 'they' left with 'him'." "With which 'him'? This is becoming a pronoun maze. Start over."
