Good stuff.

Verbal humiliation has a huge effect on me. The right words can really get me into my place and make me ready to crawl, beg and worship. Sometimes a word or words can be generally benign (to me), but said in the right way, place and time, they humble me beautifully. For instance, someone recently called me 'girl' in a particular context. I couldn't stop thinking about it all day. However, normally, that word has no effect on me.
