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 Twin Telepathy. This can also be done by Those Two Guys. A bit of Truth in Television. Since twins are the same grade and age as each other, they spend much more time together than average siblings. They’re also the most likely type of siblings to share a room, especially if they’re the same sex. Some twins even develop a language specific no one but them understands. However, this happens almost exclusively with toddlers, and they usually stop when they learn how to speak an actual language. The technical term for this is cryptophasia. Examples |

Emily and Katie of Skins were identical twins who were very different in personality, but they had a "twin language" of their own, which was subtitled in the episode where it was used: | |

The Frye twins of Assassin's Creed Syndicate. They bicker and trade witty quips, playing off each other's personalities and knowing just what to say to push the other's buttons. | |

Fred and George Weasley from Harry Potter. They both can finish each other's sentences, which often includes sarcastic quips. Their Establishing Character Moment features them going back and forth, claiming their mother mixed them up again and causing their mother to do just that. | |

In The Bridge of San Luis Rey, Esteban and Manuel wind up developing their own language, one that doesn't even resemble Spanish. They are too embarassed to cooperate when a priest tries to quiz them on their language. | |

In Kim Possible, Jim and Tim Possible have... exactly one call-and-response ("Hikka bikka boo?" "Hoo-sha!", basically "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" and agreeing to do that thing) phrase that's all we hear of a "weird twin language". | |

Goes to show that even sextuplets can engage in it. The Matsuno brothers from Osomatsu-kun frequently finish each other's sentences, squabble, and confuse each other whenever more than one of them is on screen. What makes it even worse is that half the time they don't know who they're picking a fight with since they all look so similar. | |

Kaoru and Hikaru in Ouran High School Host Club bicker regularly, usually in ways that are fully intended to mess with those watching them rather than real disagreements, and they can switch from bickering to talking in sync at the drop of a hat. | |

Wonder Woman Vol 1: Lillie, Millie & Tillie Heyday speak in unison and finish each other's sentences, though Tillie is more prone to sarcastically banter with her sisters since she's more practically minded. They've actually practiced this to help them with their pranks. | |

The Lutece twins in Bioshock Infinite. Played with in that they're not so much twins as they are gender-swapped alternate-reality versions of the same person, so it makes sense they can play off each other very well. | |

FUWAMOCO of hololive are a pair of twins (Fuwawa and Mococo Abyssgard) who stream together as one unit, usually with Mococo taking the wheel of playing games while Fuwawa makes backseat commentary. Naturally, they're prone to a lot of back-and-forth, flipping between snipping at each other over disagreements and being uncannily in sync to the point of speaking in unison. | |

The cryptophasia version appears in the Mayfair fratello Gunslinger Girl fanfics, where a couple of Agency cyborgs who are twins have developed their own language even though they are adults who already speak several languages. It's pointed out that there's a simple explanation; it's so they can communicate in private in an environment where they are under constant surveillance. | |

Lori's sons Will and Rob Willis (of the Aunt Dimity series) will bicker a fair amount, sometimes with just a simple one-upmanship, sometimes in a larger succession. Their request to visit Skeaping Manor's museum prompts this exchange: | |
