> I’ve had moments where I embarrass myself on blocks or bad days of stuttering How do you deal with blocks sometimes leading to people interrupting you and responding to the cut off sentence, especially when the cut off sentence is offensive? For example, [Trevor Noah's Jacob Zuma impression](https://youtu.be/TBau85UzUFI?t=276) is saying "we are proud supporters of the development of rural areas" but there's a one second block in "devel....lopment" and if this were a longer block, some people would hear "we are proud supporters of the devil....." and interrupt.
