The cheapest thing humans produce and the most expensive thing they avoid doing instead of acting.
means To use spoken words to share thoughts, exchange information, or just fill the silence with someone else.
from Talk traces back to Old English 'talu' (tale, story, narrative) and the related verb 'tellan' (to tell), feeding into Middle English 'talken.' It's a cousin of 'tale' and 'tell' — so at its root, every conversation is just a small story being handed from one mouth to another ear.
