Hints

DEFINITION 37

Hints are more discrete than equivocal statements. Whereas an

equivocal message isn't necessarily aimed at changing another's

behavior, a hint seeks to get the desired response from the other

person, some hints are designed to save the receiver from

embarrassment. The success of a hint depends on the other

person's ability to pick up the unexpressed message, you may

have to be more direct; but, you can withdraw without risk.
