News, economists, and personalities in the media and politics downplay growing disasters or negative outcomes when being direct is an inconvenient truth.
I read an article on the economy that use a lot of pollyanna speak when it comes to how bad the recession is going to get.

Get the Pollyanna Speak mug.Derived from 1337 (leet) speak, and the sound of a sheep (bleat). Used in reference to something someone would say in order to fit in with whatever is "cool" in popular culture at the moment. Also used in reference to the lingo that sheep of the pop culture crowd would commonly use.
Guy #1: What's up with John tonight? Why's he talking like that?
Guy #2: He's just using bleat speak to hook up with the young chicks.

Get the gay speak mug.Dumbest fucking thing in the world. Not to mention it's extremely difficult to read unless you're an annoying 13 year old boy or 16 year old girl, and it often takes longer to type out words in leet than it does to regularly type them out.
13 y/o boy: "OMG ur t3h U83R H4XX0RZ!!!1!!! LEET SPEAK IS T3H 4W50M3N355!!!!11!!1!!!1"
Common Sense:"Shut the fuck up, you fucking idiot."

Get the fecally speaking mug.Saying something that only gives a small amount of actual information; speaking without depth, detail or reason.
You said the problem with the company is leadership, but that's just half speak, it's a general statement without any real information.
You complain so much about him but you never really explain what’s going on, it’s just half-speak.
