Barbie & The Diamond Castle
A
Twin Trope. The tendency of twins to
banter with each other. This includes
finishing each other's sentences and
feeding each other lines, among other things. A common trait of
Single-Minded Twins and
Telepathic Twins.
This can also be done by other multiple siblings, or even
Those Two Guys.
Truth in Television, especially with twins of the same gender, as sharing one room and being in the same grade means they spend much more time together than average siblings. For that matter, some sets of twins develop a language specific to themselves that no one else understands.
Examples
Non-twin examples:
- Huey, Dewey, and Louie tag-team their sentences.
- The three fiends of the Inter-Fiend Cooperation Council from The Order of the Stick talk like this, even though they're not twins (probably not, anyway).
- Frasier and Niles Crane, from Frasier.
