An escalating assertion is a way of expressing yourself in an increasingly firm statement without being aggressive or rude. Example sentence: "I know you want to speak and express your feelings immediately, but I really want to finish my side first before you start speaking again.

"Assertive" is a behavior or description of behavior where a person is able to stand up for their own in a calm, positive manner without being aggressive or forceful.

When being interrupted, one can say "Excuse me, but I have to finish my statement before you can have yours." This is an example of an assertion.

The word 'wee' can be used as an action word, as in "peeing" or adjective which means "little" ('wee bit of something').
