Sphincter Speak

(absolute, certainty, erudition, pedagogue, positous), authoritative peremptory, pedant, verbose, pompous, &/or didactic speech or instruction; drawing conclusions based on or integrating assumptions; wishful thinking passing as fact or doctrine.

I didn't mind the traffic ticket so much as the sphincter speak that went along with it.

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!

As we speak

(1.) Often said in dramatic moments where the situation was never planned to happen but (2.) can be said in more casual moments

1. Flight 498 has had an engine fire and is heading to the nearest airport to make an emergency landing as we speak

2. I can see the delivery driver is en-route as we speak so you should have your food within the next 5 minutes

Freedom to Speak

"Freedom to Speak" is the way to say "Freedom of Speech" which makes more sense because it encourages people to speak more than when that right and freedom are called the "Freedom of Speech."

"Freedom of Speech" is a way of wording the "freedom to speak" in a way that distances the speaker(s) from the act. Humans do not "speech," they speak and can give a "speech." Calling that freedom the "Freedom to Speak" encourages people to speak more often and for longer swaths of time than when it is called the "Freedom of Speech." It is time to start using the expression which encourages Americans to SPEAK UP more. " God is in the details."

Maui Speak

When you move to Hawaii and three weeks later all you talk about is the vibes and your "ohana."

Jenn's been in Lanai all of three weeks and already everything on her Facebook page is Maui speak--pictures of poke bowls and long diatribes about how grateful she is for her "ohana."
