Save the ones that bring a smile to your face.

What Do You Say to Freak Someone Out?

If you want to surprise your friends with a comment or question that freaks them out a bit, just to lighten the mood, you’re in the right place.

Why? Because you’re a good friend, that’s why.

Also, you’re a bit mischievous. Bonus.

But besides browsing through lists like this one, how can you improve at coming up with weird things to say?

The human brain is a creative machine.

It’s always seeking out connections and new paths to explore.

Try out the following exercises to enhance this skill:

Pick a word and create at least ten random, connected ideas.

Think of a memorable moment and jot down random thoughts about it.

Brainstorm a list of adjectives that start with each letter of your full name.

Get the idea? Choose something – a word, a letter, an image – and play a word association game without filtering yourself.

Let those ideas flow onto the page (the weirder, the better) and see what you come up with.
