    He's saying that if you think that your speech is "normal", then you clearly don't listen, because everyone speaks differently.

    Just Another Nobody But the norm is by definition not having a lisp, so saying someone who doesn't have one doesn't listen is contradictory to the meaning, which suggests you shouldn't judge people, which is exactly what he just did.

    "the norm by definition is not having a lisp" Pretty sure "norm/normal" has it's own definition. He isn't saying that someone who doesn't have one doesn't listen. He's saying that everyone speaks in different ways, lisp is just the prime example because it relates to him. His primary point is that we don't judge the way we speak, only impose that judgement on others. He says in the beginning that he didn't know he had a lisp until someone brought it up to him. He thought he spoke "normal". "If you suppose your speech is normal, it's cause your impediment is listening" - IE. You probably don't sound how you think you do. You don't hear the subtleties in you you're own because you've grown accustomed to hearing yourself. Don't judge people by the way they speak, instead judge them by what they are saying.

    I thought he was saying that in general most people don't have speech impairments so if you only listen blindly when someone tells you what they think is right and you don't question it, than you don't end up with anything original to say and you won't have an original way to say it.

    I've always known that he had a lisp because I also have a subtle lisp, so when I found this poem of him confronting comments about it, he made me feel really empowered. I usually felt the need to hide my lisp, and I thought that I couldn't do spoken word because it was extremely hard to pronounce 's', but he made me think otherwise, and now I do spoken word to hopefully empower others that feel like I felt about my lisp.

    So someone said to me the other day I've got a lisp A stranger, you know, they said I've got a subtle lisp And I should know I sound a little stupid doing spoken word When all my words with "S" in them are spoken so absurd And I'm not upset, okay it just sucks To think you're speaking normally for two decades And then shucks- Find out your stuff sounds like a stanza of Severus Snape's toughest parseltongue is pronounced by Daffy Duck So I will say this: My subtle lisp is not sinful I'm not sorry Saturday, I'm not sorry Sunday; I'm spiritual and when I speak I celebrate the Sabbath seven days a week I've got special S sauce smothered on my skull walls like a tossed salad so silkscreen the Sistine ceiling on my soft pallet I sing along with super scenesters Reciting Sufjan Stevens songs in skinny jeans Dance salsa with soccer moms Sneaking out in skimpy see-through sarongs I will answer your questions in stout With my sexy subtly lisping sparkling incisor small What's my surname? Watsky What's my size? Stocky My city? San Francisco It's so sweet, now slow See, I've heard some steamy stories of oral sex But I'm not stretching to say one time I made a lady climax by speaking an essay section Of a Shakespeare sonnet in her split legs' general direction I scribble all S-Essays I shred them and sprinkle the whole S-ashes My speech doesn't give a spotted sea snail if it passes I slipped past straight Fs to straight Ss in my classes Because my speech stay second-semester senior status Seriously so so so so soon So sick sixth grade school kids call me sofa king I'm on tongue steroids Slammin' with the Sammie Sosa swing So tight I sleep upright in a small cell in Sing Sing And sail the seven seas on Steve Irwin's stingray While your speedboat's sinking It's still too soon Anyway, screw an S.S.O.S I'm straight S.S.S for Save Someone's Standards Studied at Emerson; the school of savage speech Sup, Stanford? I spit sexier than Summer Sanders, Sarah Silverman Susan Sarandon, Sissy Spacek, Sally Struthers, and Selena Spooning in a 6-way same-sex all S celebrity civil union So, you can slander the gay lisp And I will slip you a solid list of friends Or 60% of Emerson; who Lisp or no lisp, will stomp, spit, stay pissed And start all over on the racists You can save the South Korean stereotypes The Sambo shtick The sexist shit is sickening And if you suppose your speech is normal Its 'cause your impediment is listening Speak for those of us with something special Something that sets us aside from my- Accent havers, my... stammerers My southerners, my st-st-stutterers Yes, I will spit it sick and stick to never skipping "S" 'Cause I was- Suckin' on a soup spoon and I suckled it to sterling silver Simple, supple, super soaker Staying watching Sister Sister Scenage syllables coming esophagus Move up there this place is Sufferin' succotash Second place isolate oxygen There's no stopping this I start this step of speaking You should see that I will not desist I'm sorry!

I'm glad to see someone else who knows of this oxymoronic word xD it's been my favorite phobia since 7th grade. I also have to agree with sex daily....I have it myself, makes reading difficult....(sex daily is an anagram for dyslexia).

    I have a weird love for this in that, I don't have a lisp when I speak comfortably with friends, but my problem is that I have social anxiety. When I speak comfortably with friends no one ever thinks I have any "sexy subtly lisp," but the moment I speak aloud in front of people I don't know I try so hard to make sure every vowel is clear, and perfect that the moment I get to an 's' something translates wrong and suddenly I'm lisping; and then I'm freaking out inside and leaving rooms because I practice so hard to say every word just right and I blew it with an s. This makes me feel better, late sure, but it comes and I don't feel like such a twat for blowing my one moment to look like a regular human with confidence.

    I've been a huge fan for about 10 years. I still remember the first time a friend of mine showed me one of your earlier videos. Your poetry and music was always very inspiring to me. Lately my life has hit a pretty major rough patch, long story short after a car accident I found myself disabled and now have to walk with the assistance of a cane. But I always remembered your words and your message and you have truly inspired me to keep going. Starting over, relearning, adapting, and adjusting doesn't have to be the end of the world. I see it as an opportunity in fact, and your art is something that helped me get to that good place. Hope you're still out there making the world a better place watsky!

    Oh man. Watsky. Thank you for this!! I’ve been doing audio at work for the courses I build. I’ve always handed that to a professional in past jobs, and although praise for being really articulate and good at speaking/reading aloud....the lisp. I’m now in a place that doesn’t mind it and when audio needs recorded for a course we’re publishing and the SME doesn’t want to speak, they have me do it! But listening to myself on full stereo repeat, editing every detail, and seeing clearly in the spectral display where my tongue sneaks out between my teeth to try and make yet another word thpotlight that thexthy lithp. Le sigh. I had intense speech therapy as a kid and, while you all can now tell if I am talking about my next door neighbor Juan or my brother Ron (a running family point of humor for many years), my S never really got to that winners circle. I finally sat down this morning and started researching tips and exercises to work on this myself so that my future recordings don’t require so much damn effort and editing finesse. Then I came across this. While I’m still going to work on it, when I get frustrated in the audio editing process, I’m 100% going to pause and give myself a moment of owning it solidarity. Thank you! This is fantastic. 🤜🤛

    "Where are you from?" "Here." "Yeah, but where were born?" "Here." "Huh. You've got an accent." "No, my good person, I have a speech impediment." Every day. I don't mind the questions and I don't blame anyone for asking. But this video speaks to my heart.
