TED-talk voice

1) A self-important tone used by a TEDtard to explain something obvious or stupid.

2) A manner of interpersonal communication that sounds too practiced or polished, like public speech.

3) Any way of communicating that betrays the speaker's desperation for validation by an audience of people who self-identify as intellectuals.
1) John's TED-talk voice did little to compensate for his lifelong habit of unoriginal thought.

2) Weekly meetings would be less intolerable if Lundberg would quit using that TED-talk voice he must have learned in B school and instead show some humanity.

3) Martha's incessant TED-talk voice stood out like the one Australian accent in the room, only instead of charming it was obnoxious. Her desperation for peer validation was as pathetic as it was irritating to anyone within earshot.

Ted Stevens

Theodore F. Stevens, referred to affectionately by Alaskans as "Uncle Ted", was a Republican U.S. Senator from the state of Alaska, serving from December 24th 1968, to January 3rd, 2009. He was formerly the longest serving Republican U.S. Senator in history, as well as currently being the most senior U.S. Senator to lose re-election. He is famous for his Series of Tubes quote, which brought him wide-spread ridicule on the Internet, namely the blogo-sphere. He was very successful in developing Alaska, with Alaskans nicknaming federal dollars brought to the state for it's development "Stevens money". He died on August 9th, 2010, in a plane crash that killed 5 and injured 4.
Ted Stevens said the Internet's a series of tubes.

He's Ted Stevens, he's always right.
