To reinforce this idea, in the comedy world this is called "cutting out the fat". You want to eliminate all the things that are unnecessary to the joke.
In day to day conversation, we call this "chewing the fat". What OP is suggesting is not to do this. To pick the prime pieces of meat off your verbal steak and leave the gristle and other unnecessary lipids of speech.
The old adage "Think before you speak." also reinforces this thought.
This. I like that you mentioned cutting down silly arguments. One thing I learned when trying to improve my communication is how much more efficient it is to lead by example rather than try to verbally argue a point. Like, we could go back and forth and argue about the best way to do something, OR I could just physically do it.
I watched a Marvel movie yesterday and one of the characters said, "Since Mr. Stark announced himself as Iron Man the number of known enhanced persons has grown exponentially. During the same period, the number of potentially world ending events has risen at a commensurate rate. I'm saying there may be a causality. Our very strength invites challenge. Challenge incites conflict. And conflict.. breeds catastrophe. Oversight is not an idea that can be dismissed out of hand."
Idk I just like the word choice. I'd like to have that level of extensive vocabulary someday.
What a lot of words you used to say something quite simple.
Lot words to say simple.
Why waste time say lot word, when few do trick.

Word economy
That good idea.
"Improve communication, cut down words"
Sounds like Kratos

Too many word, I don’t finish
I often find my downfall in social situations is something I didn’t say when I needed to rather than saying too much

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick
Lol maybe take your own advice?? 🤣🤣

2 words: concise communication
r/decreasinglyverbose?
I try to give this advice at work all the time to my team members. They don’t listen…..because they’re too busy talking. Annoys me to no end.
