Implicitly Explicit

A friend once said in a society where it is natural to say things implicitly, everyone involved would understand an implicit statement. Paradox lies behind the fact that by being implicit, one is actually being very explicit.

I am not much of an implicit person, but there are situations where I'd prefer to use non-so explicit words. And much to my own surprise, I kinda enjoy it!

funny... i just had this conversation with my colleague and i said this: in a very implicit society such as indonesia, being implicit is actually such an explicit thing.
