Someone who retells the life of a deceased person. A Speaker for the Dead tells the story in all truth, holding back neither good nor bad, so that the deceased may be better understood.
The title derived from the book ender's game, where Ender tells the story of the Formics after killing off all but one of them in a short story book titled, "The Hive Queen," and later the story of his brother in the another short story book titled, "The Hegemon." Both story's were signed with the pen name 'Speaker for the Dead,' so no one was aware of the original author.

Thanks to the Speaker for the Dead, I realized my dead father was not such a bad man after all, just struggling to make ends meet.

Get the Speaker for the Dead mug.Someone appears after you mention them. "Speak of the Devil" is short for "Speak of the Devil and he shall come". It was believed that if you spoke about the Devil it would attract his attention. That's why when you're talking about someone and they show up people say "Speak of the Devil".

Get the Speaking mug.When someone with severe, projectile diarrhea at least partially misses the toilet bowl and spackles the inside of the toilet and the surrounding area (typically a public restroom) with their feces.
Wow Guy!! Last night, the combination of that Green Chili Stew, extra crispy fried chicken, mayonnaise sandwich and the warm glass of prune juice gave me the worst diarrhea. I gave the gas station a proper Navajo Spackle Job this morning while my girlfriend waited in the car.
