It sounds like you're acknowledging your own skills with language and inference, while also showing a bit of humility in the face of RuPaul's House of Drag, where wit, charm, and clever wordplay are essential tools for success.
The phrase "silver-tongued devil" is indeed an old one, implying someone who uses their eloquence to deceive or manipulate others (not necessarily with ill intent). It's a nod to your own verbal dexterity and creativity.
And I love the understudy comment! It's a clever way to acknowledge that you might not be at the same level as RuPaul and his crew, but you're still doing your own thing and having fun with language. That's a great attitude to have!
So, what kind of linguistic acrobatics do you like to perform? Do you enjoy crafting clever comebacks, spinning witty one-liners, or perhaps weaving intricate webs of inference (à la Sherlock Holmes)?
