Trash-talk can be fun when playing games 
with friends if the right tone is
communicated. Saying to an opponent, "You are sooooo going down," with laughter in your voice and a smile on your face is fun. When does trash talk become a put-down? It can be a fine line between having fun and hurting someone else's feelings.
