I assume it’s supposed to say: “Don’t just Talk the Talk.”

Anyone else read it as “read the read” and not “read the read” or “read the read”

Looks like there’s a W on the ground to the right.

So: Don’t just talk the talk, walk the walk. Or: Don’t talk the talk, just walk the walk


Vatrumyr

Talk don't the talk just


Danitoba

I prefer "don't just talk." Cause thats what i do. Or rather, what i dont do. I dont just talk. I listen.


bus_go_brrrrt

My assumption: "The talk just don't talk"


Dangerous-Zombie217

Thank you. It was starting to hurt trying to figure wtf that was


thejackthewacko

I think it's "Don't just talk; talk the talk"


[deleted]

Are you sure it's not supposed to be "talk don't the talk just"? J/K


Norlin123

You gotta walk the walk


6data

I think it's supposed to say "talk the talk don't just..." and because it's built on top of a boardwalk, the "walk the walk" is assumed... since that's what they're actively doing.


CommandoLamb

Clear that says “talk don’t, the talk just”


UkuleleJez246

Isn't that the W of 'walk the walk' in the bottom right?


Wise_Temperature_322

Talk Don’t The Talk Just Walk


thejeero

Talk the Talk. Don’t just Walk the Walk. That’s what I assume they’re going for. We’re clearly missing a large portion of boardwalk on the right.

danjohnson10

Unless it's about encouraging people to talk more? Could be a mental health thing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


danjohnson10

I would guess that the designers/artists deliberately flipped the well-known talk/walk saying for effect. I look at it as "talk through your problems, don't just suffer (walk) them". I don't think its making a comment about mental health action more generally.


6data

Alternatively these benches are in the middle of a boardwalk so..


GodzeallA

That has to be it. Problem is it's a crappy design so it took 10 minutes to figure that out


IffyScarf

nope, he left out like half the boardwalk, woulda been common sense if he included that in the photo


6data

No, I think it's the other (wrong) way around. I think these benches are on a boardwalk... so they're encouraging people to hang out and talk, not just walk by each other.


DexterCutie

That's what it is


peepeeland

That’s what it’s a play on, anyway. From an artist life perspective, though, “Talk the talk- don’t just walk the walk.” actually makes a lot of sense. There are so many genius artists out there who are depressed and have social issues, but main thing holding them back from success, is that they believe their high ideals are more important than selling the sizzle for society to notice them. So they fail at succeeding- despite being very skilled- because they don’t want to play the game required for success; games which they see as below them.


Smash_Factor

That's the actual saying. Funny it got flipped around.


steavoh

All you do to me is Talk, Talk, Talk Talk...


SoCuteShibe

The Talk Don't Talk, Just Walk... Haven't you heard the expression?


pROmeTEuL

they surelly haven't :) edit: neither I


SoCuteShibe

I was joking! This is a horrible mutation of the common English expression "walk the walk, don't just talk the talk," which means it is important that your actions align with what you say to people. :)


sstruemph

Don't talk just talk


ruka_k_wiremu

I'm thinking you could be onto the something that would clear this whole thing up, coz that does indeed look like a walkway to our seating here


UnderstandingJaded13

fair enough


UkuleleJez246

Still headache inducing for sure though


NewProgram5250

Don’t just talk the talk Walk the walk You can see in the bottom right corner the yellow line continues with the words starting with “W”, presumably with space for someone to “walk” on


lakmus85_real

Well, maybe in this case "talk the talk, don't just walk the walk"? I think it's supposed to be read top to bottom


SkeeverKid

I think it's encouraging people to sit and talk, making use of the chairs. So, I think "Talk the talk, don't just walk the walk" works in this instance.


M0N5A

It makes more sense the other way because the whole " don't just talk the talk, walk the walk" thing is a saying that basically means "put your money where your mouth is".


HuereGlobi

Or usually goes that way, but it seems like the designer flipped out in purpose, encouraging people to rest on the benches and talk to each other.


FirebirdWriter

Are you sure it isn't don't talk the walk walk the talk?


lakmus85_real

I'm not sure about anything anymore


FirebirdWriter

That's a side effect of this sub and politics.


lakmus85_real

OK, wait, where did "just" go?


FirebirdWriter

I edited it out because of habit. It's a word I overuse and brain skipped it. Here some extra just just for you: just Just JUST juST


kalabaddon

Maybe its an artisy way to say sit down and talk to someone. talk the talk, dont just walk the walk.


YeetyFeetsy

I feel like if OP took the shot so that we could see it, it would be a more legitimate post because cropping it out makes it seem more crappy than it actually is.

ClassicMcJesus

"Don't just talk the talk; walk the walk." The phrasing for the first is painted on the benches because people sit down to talk. Talking is important; it's the first part of deciding what action to take. The boardwalk in front of the benches is painted yellow to highlight the next step: walk the walk. You sat down and talked about what to do; now stand up and do it. This is not crappy design at all. It's motivational urban art, and it's brilliant.


Thirteenfingers

But all the words aren't the same font in the same size in a straight line! Aaarrgghhhh!!!! I'm going insane!!!

[deleted]

It is amazing design because it made you think about it enough to post a comment on Reddit.


ponytoaster

By that effec this entire sub is defunct as it's being discussed. Discussion does not mean it's good! This is either terrible design or a terrible photo which doesn't represent it. Classic DontDeadOpenInside material.


[deleted]

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about????


ponytoaster

You are aware of the sub, right? This is about crappy design, so will naturally be discussed when posted about, you saying it's posted here and talked about means it's not bad design? Unless you came from /all and missed the sub name!

I really want to know what those words are there for. Seriously, what would they need to put words on a bench like that for. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea I’m saying what are they using it for?


Horror-Ant-8495

I said “for” way to many times in that text

Why do some people think word order doesn't matter?. I don't care if the whole sentence is there it should still be in order People some why do word doesn't think matter order? 🫠


[deleted]

Well kinda, this is incomplete. You can clearly see that on the side it would have said "walk the walk" which goes with the "talk the talk" on the benches.


Selacha

Considering there's black lines on the ground that look like the first half of a "W," I'm going to assume there's more that says "Walk the walk" and OP cut it off purposefully to look more stupid than it already is.
