gorpoglorp's definitions
A phenomenon unique to Tampa, FL arising from social situations where strangers aren't sure whether to address each other with southern town-like hospitality or northern city-like aloofness, resulting in one or more strangers hesitantly whispering, mumbling, or even just mouthing pleasantries to each other while making minimal to no eye contact. Also a form of anomie.

Get the Tampanian Whisper mug.Like dyslexia or dyscalculia, but only for reading analog (old style) clock faces. You can do math no problem, but clock faces are like trying to decipher an ancient code.
