Ha. That is pretty good. There are some steps between "Hi" and "Here is a term sheet" but you can definitely tell if someone is very excited.

Unfortunately, it is harder to tell if someone is disinterested as VCs try hard to maintain or preserve relationships for the future, which makes them more cautious in just saying "no" outright. I think the good ones are pretty up front about not being interested early.

Here's what Mr. Graham said:

You can translate most of VC-speak with just 2 rules:

1. "Here is a termsheet." -> "Here is a termsheet."

2. * -> "No."
