Word Choice Moment: Psych's Stanchions

One of the most amusing aspects of script-writing is how often writers appear to be talking to each other. They have characters make comments that are more about writing than about the plot--and not entirely the kind of thing those characters would say to each other. 

Though not entirely not--Danny's point about "forte" (that it doesn't have to be pronounced "for-tay") is a little random but does emphasize the fact that Danny is more erudite than he often behaves. 

Gus and Shawn of Psych often make comments about word choices. One of my favorites is when they comment on "stanchions"--as in "Oh, that is what they are called!"
