The word "Implication" means........?

Question

I would very much appreciate it if you let me know what this word meant to you. I'm not looking for a dictionary definition, just personal ones. As a word, it fascinates me.

Answer 1

"Results" of an action or reaction

Answer 2

So your saying I did what?  You said I'm a what?

Answer 3

Implication means: To indicate.  That is, to appear to be as such.  

Ex:  By implication you are guilty.  In other words, you 'appear' to be guilty.  Or, "This implication makes you appear guilty."

I hope that helped.

Answer 4

Implication or imply to me is a form of suggestion. so to imply would be saying somebody is stupid ......... without actually really saying it. Make sense?!

For example : if you thought there was a really big person you might say they were geometrically challenged or a small person thats vertically challenged instead of coming straight out and saying 'youre fat' or 'youre a short a$s'

doesnt have to be in relation to people either

Answer 5

To me "implication" means either a suggestion that is made in a covert fashion,  or something that will have a potential detrimental effect, or someone's involvement in some shady deed.

Whichever way there is an element of something  or somebody being tied to to something else that has undesirable undertones for instance:

"I find the implication that this is too complicated for me insulting."

(I have  not been told that I was stupid in so many words but it has been hinted at by a snide remark )

"His implication in the bank finances are to be deplored."

(His involvement  has had catastrophic effects. He has robbed the bank)

or:

Those two remarks are tied together and bear weight on each other.

Answer 6

Suggestion.

Answer 7

it is when you are implying something...if you are making an implication you are saying somehting and hoping someone gets what you want out of it. like when someone says your room is a mess they are probably making an implication that it needs cleaned.
