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."

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."

Passionately Speaking

A "rational explanation" for unexpectedly changing your voice's volume when talking about a topic which you are "passionate" about. It can be mistaken for anger but it is hard to tell the difference

I am NOT angry at you. I am just passionate. I am passionately speaking that you can't tell me what to eat!

Reverse Speak

Reverse Speak is a method of physiological propaganda. (see Concern Trolling) Whereas perpetrators present purposeful misinformation to their target group while feigning allegiance (Usually by presenting said information inside in-group zones or by using their dialect) While usually being targeted at newer or casual members, this can cause confusion, misdirection and strife among the whole group. When done in large enough numbers can cause a domino effect when users take the misinformation as the status quo, and begin to echo said information among other users. If done for a long enough time (new users will mould themselves to new information) will cause a maturity plateau. Where legitimate users who believe said misinformation will out-populate or out-control the original users belief systems. Reverse speak is when these newer users unknowingly or inadvertently echo the previously stated misinformation. Believing it to be speech of the group.

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
