I myself marveled at the understated beauty and deep thought that went into it.

The minimalist nature of his responses are cutting edge. It screams volumes and only reserves a few spaces. His use of the literary technique of aposiopesis is striking.

I agree, definitely a Jack Handy moment.

Thanks. I'm often misunderstood.
Aaposiopesis...is that a real word?

Yes Jack it is, don't be afraid to take credit for your definitive style.
Aposiopesis is derived from a Greek word that means “becoming silent”. It is a rhetorical device that can be defined as a figure of speech in which the speaker or writer breaks off abruptly and leaves the statement incomplete, as if the speaker is not willing to state what is present in his mind due to being overcome by passion, excitement or fear. In a piece of literature, it means to leave a sentence unfinished so that the reader could determine his own meanings.
