7 Mind-Blowing Ways ASEAN Diplomatic Language Is Secretly Controlling World Politics

In a revelation that’s making diplomats reach for their anxiety medication, ASEAN diplomatic language has evolved beyond human comprehension. Studies show that a single diplomatic “perhaps” now contains more layers of meaning than an onion wrapped in a riddle inside an international treaty.

The Seven Sacred Meanings of Diplomatic Perhaps

1. “Perhaps” + Slight Eyebrow Raise = “Your proposal is so absurd, I’m questioning your sanity”

2. “Perhaps” + Gentle Smile = “We signed a deal with your competitor last week”

3. “Perhaps” + Tea Sip = “Let’s pretend this conversation never happened”

4. “Perhaps” + Notebook Check = “My assistant will delete this email thread”

5. “Perhaps” + Thoughtful Nod = “I’m mentally planning my vacation”

6. “Perhaps” + Pen Click = “Call my office in 2027”

7. “Perhaps” + Water Break = “Error 404: Diplomat Not Found”

The Art of Saying Nothing Eloquently

PISR’s Managing Editor Max Perkins, who claims to have mastered the art of meaningless communication, notes: “These ASEAN diplomatic language experts are like professional poker players, except instead of cards, they’re playing with carefully crafted nothings. It’s beautiful, really. I’ve seen entire trade agreements constructed entirely out of ‘perhaps’ and strategic coughing.”
