Omommomo: To omit tedious details.

 I hope we can make this our mantra for the term. 

"omommomo (O-mo-MO-mo)  Ainu

People can go on and on, filling your head with the endless details of their stories and dramas. Sometimes the urge to flee is intense when encountering a talkative individual who seems insensitive to normal social nonverbal cues. Imprisoned by the grasp of their ramblings, remaining in their presence is challenging. Throughout the twistings and turnings of their tales you wonder when they will finally get to the point. Or perhaps the shroud of negativity that persists through the boring recounting is what demands escape. This is when you wish the person had developed the skill to omommomo. This term is traditionally used during the telling of long, chanting ancient Ainu narratives, and honors the audience by sparing them the plethora of particulars with which they are already familiar. Passing over these elements of the story actually enhances the overall effect. Good advice, for a succinct retelling often conveys a more powerful, penetrating message. 'To make a long story short." invites the listener to pay more attention, to open their hearts and listen between the phrases for the essence of the sharing.
