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.
Pro Bernie-Sanders message board

Chat-Speak

Chat speak is largely used on the internet, in text messages, in notes passed in class, and sometimes in spoken speech. In its most basic essence, chat speak is a thorough mutilation of the English language, created by teenagers who refuse to learn said language.

Beware of chat speak users. If a person is too lazy to learn the difference between "Let's eat, Grandma." and "lets eat grandma" they are probably too lazy to understand that it is wrong to actually eat one's grandmother.
Two examples of chat-speak are:

why cant we just all start singing the world would be so much funnier if people just started singing

VS.

Why can't we all just start singing? The world would be so much more entertaining if people just started singing.

& (used above)

lets eat grandma

VS.

Let's eat, Grandma.
