Quite simply, stupid talk is language that does not achieve its purposes because of the inappropriateness of its tone or vocabulary or assumptions. It is talk that does not work. Crazy talk is talk that usually does work but, in working, promotes purposes that are unreasonable, or overwhelmingly trivial, or even evil."
