what words mean not having the right expression?

Question

if i want to say a thing but it doesn't fit into the context of either my personality or the subject of the converse should i just keep silent

Answer 1

What is expression? Expression means: phrase, idiom, turn of phrase, term, saying, set phrase. It also means a look on somebody’s face conveying a thought or feeling

Example: She listened with a puzzled expression.
Sometimes it is better to be silent.

Answer 2

Yes, I know what you mean. I think that often, it's simply a matter of the context; if a word is used a certain way, it can mean a completely different thing than when it's used in a different way. Also, some formal words are used as slang words regularly, especially here on Yahoo! Answers. Therefore, the slang definition and the formal definition could give you a completely different meaning. I guess it's something you simply have to get used to. That's why I often wish every country spoke the same languages. I've known a little Spanish, a little French, a little Italian, and a little Japanese. Unfortunately, I've forgotten most of what I knew. But when I was more fluent with them than I am now, I remember hearing some things, and thinking, "What the heck.." because it made no sense. It can be so difficult when you're not a native speaker.

If you start talking about something on a topic seemingly unrelated to the topic of the current conversation, you are making a "non sequitur." If you can, try to make a "segue" (pronounced "seg-way") to help your listeners understand why you are switching topics. Common segues include "speaking of..." and "that reminds me."

Example: "When you mentioned your motorcycle accident, I was reminded of a bad car accident my nephew had a couple years ago. My nephew runs a pet shop and they have the cutest puppies right now..."
