Office-speak

I work in a hospital. Over the years, I have noticed the Human Resources director expresses himself using the same old, tired phrases. Then my boss started using them! Such as, it is what it is, instead of giving me an answer to my question. Instead of saying "I talked to so and so, it is ALWAYS, "I touched base". "Reach out" is just texting somebody. The worst is " I shared that with so and so". I feel like I should say, Thanks for Sharing!
Please talk to me normally, not in office-speak!

Poser Speak

Used to make fun of metal posers, the metal equivalent of leet speak.

You take a bunch of genres, bands, and famous metal musicians and you make a random inaccurate statement or you just spell the names wrong for a band and famous musician.
Typical examples of Poser Speak:

"Maytallica was not even thrash during mister of puppets, kill yourself poser"

"DION RUINED BLACK SLABBATH"
" I'm pretty sure Tom Araya era Metallica was the best, their best album was Holy Diver # Grind Core #Not Thrash "
"Paranoid was Opeth's best album # Thrash for lyfe"

speaking to discover

A method to make oneself aware of certain things one was not aware of until one began speaking to oneself or others (and preferably recorded what one said) about something (to be able to analyze it).
Speaking extemporaneously to myself and audio-recording it has helped me realize certain things I was not aware of until I said them. That process is called "speaking to discover".
