LMBO Yes. But jumping spiders only say one thing when they talk, and they talk by holding up their legs. The pattern of the hair clumps on their legs tell their species and gender. So they say the same thing to the cute other bug that they say to anything else that they want to talk to. With my family's strange affinity with animals, I've had jumping spiders talk to me. The females, especially of the larger species, can become very tame with repeated gentle handling and safe return to their homes. If you make friends with one you have to be careful how you walk past her home because she'll jump on you to visit, and then get lost if you don't realize that she's with you.
