发帖数: 6571 | 1 Hillary Clinton Invokes ‘Cone Of Friendship Silence’ When Asked About
Black Friends
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton invoked the “cone of
friendship silence” when she was asked about the most meaningful
conversation she’s had with a black friend.
The question was asked by ESPN’s Kevin Merida during Clinton’s appearance
at the National Association of Black Journalists on Friday.
Clinton invoked the names of many of her African American women friends on
her campaign, including one of her best friends in college, but did not
answer the question.
“Oh my gosh, well I could tell you that I am blessed to have a crew of
great friends,” she said.
Clinton said that her black friends had both chastised her in conversations
and even “tried to expand my musical tastes.”
“I’m going to respect the cone of friendship silence, but please know I’
ve got a lot of great friends who have given me so much more,” she said.

发帖数: 6571 | 2 The Cone of Silence: is one of many recurring joke devices from Get Smart,
an American comedy television series of the 1960s about an inept spy. The
essence of the joke is that the apparatus, designed for secret conversations
, makes it impossible for those inside the device - and easy for those
outside the device - to hear the conversation. The end result being neither
secret nor communication.
In popular culture, "cone of silence" is a slang phrase meaning that the
speaker wishes to keep the indicated information secret and that the
conversation should not be repeated to anyone not currently present. For
example: "We aren't inviting Cindy and her boyfriend to the movies because
they embarrass us, but keep that in the cone of silence."
