Kabuki Speaker 

Japanese made speakers from the 60's through the 70's that had a minimum 15" woofer, a minimum 4-way cross-over, at least 6 individual drivers, in a box that is less than 3 cu ft or weighs less than 50lbs.


"For those wondering about the origin of the term, it had to do with the limited bandwidth and tinny sound that characterized the first versions of these speakers. As a friend said "You can play Led Zepplin though them and it comes out sounding like Kabuki music"."

Bob: Thanks but I don't need another fauxtivational speaker man.

redneck speaker phone 

when mama is on the front porch of the "single wide" yelling with the neighbor across the trailer park talking about how "sorry" her baby daddy is. she is using the redneck speaker phone.
i wish tonya and linda would quit using the redneck speaker phone , put more minutes on their pre paid phones and quit yelling to each other across the park, i bet everyone in the trailer park is tired of hearing the details of the ex cons they are both sharing in bed.

Speaker for the Dead 

Speaker for the Dead (1986) is a science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card and an indirect sequel to the novel Ender's Game. This book takes place around the year 5270, some 3,000 years after the events in Ender's Game. However, due to relativistic space travel Ender himself (who now goes by his real name Andrew Wiggin or by his title "Speaker for the Dead") is only about 35 years old.

This is the first book to talk about Starways Congress, a high standpoint Legislation for the human colonies. It is the first to fully mention the Hundred Worlds, 100 planets which humans colonized which are tightly intertwined by the xenocided Buggers' old Ansible technology. It also showed Ender's sister's terms for life forms, such as Varelse.

Like Ender's Game, the book won the Nebula Award in 1986,1 and the Hugo Award in 1987,2 making Card the first author in history to win both these awards in two consecutive years. Speaker for the Dead was published in a slightly revised edition in 1991. It was followed by Xenocide and Children of the Mind.
Speaker for the Dead read it.

second speaker 

when a friend or coworker feels as though they need to repeat everything they just heard on the radio (especially during morning shows), as though they are the only ones with ears or that they discovered the news themselves. usually a second speaker will reword things to sound as though they are more informed than they are.
everyday from 8:00 to 10:00, the guy that sits next to me at work is a total second speaker.

OR

radio: yesterday evening an armed robbery took place at a local jewelry store....
"second speaker": did you her about that jewelry store that got robbed last night?
