First having the knowledge of nonverbal communication is essential. Pay attention to nonverbals by turning off the sound on your T.V. set and notice the nonverbals! Some people talk with increased gestures, some with increased facial animation. Note your own use of nonverbals. Make sure your gestures are communicative and not distracting. Note what expression you have on your face....is it a frown or a smile? Are you animated or stonefaced? Is the "melody" of your speech (another nonverbal) pleasant and carries meaning for your message? Is your pitch pleasing? Is your rate of speaking too fast or too slow? Do you put pauses in your verbal message? These, too are nonverbal meaning markers called "suprasegmentals."
Pitcher plants are called pitcher plants because they have 'pitchers' at the ends of their stems. The pitcher has digestive fluid in it with a sweet smell that attracts insects. The insects fly/crawl in and get trapped inside when the pitcher plant closes. They are then digested in the fluids in the "pitcher". Pitcher as in a jug or cup, not as in baseball pitcher but I think you knew that.
If you mean 'pitcher' as a large jug, they usually have a rounded narrow neck, are often made of earthenware and used mainly for holding water, There is a Latin word 'bicarium' and a Greek word 'bikos' meaning earthen vessel.
