Witty One-Liners Quote by Douglas Feaver

A brutal little couplet that lands like a tabloid headline written by a poet: all output, no intake. “His mouth is for export” turns speech into a commodity, something packaged and shipped outward for effect - PR, gossip, spin, performance. The phrasing borrows the language of trade to suggest that this person’s words aren’t meant to connect; they’re meant to circulate, to be consumed. He talks in a way that implies an audience, not a conversation.

Then Feaver sharpens the knife: “his head has no entrance.” It’s not just that he’s closed-minded; it’s that the architecture of receptivity doesn’t exist. No door for new information, no vulnerability, no feedback loop. The metaphor quietly indicts a whole style of masculinity and status: the man who treats listening as a loss of power, whose identity depends on being the broadcaster rather than the receiver.

The line works because it’s asymmetrical and surgical. Mouth/head is an old pairing, but “export/entrance” yanks it into a more modern register: media, markets, and the one-way megaphone culture where being heard outranks being changed. Even without firm biographical context, the intent reads like character assassination with a moral angle - a warning about leaders, pundits, managers, or charming social tyrants who can sell a narrative but can’t absorb reality. It’s funny in its cruelty, and culturally precise: a portrait of a person optimized for transmission, immune to influence.
