Linguistic dissonance

Language, as with many forms of complex communication, is linear. Its use and context establish tone (the attitude in which the author conveys), with the logical expectation of consistent perpetuation. When one exhibits an unanticipated deviation from the aforementioned parameters, such that its register, dialect, and/or vocabulary is at a significant distance from that previously employed, its effect can best be described as being "totally fucking weird"

This is also known as being "sophisticated as hell"; however, linguistics prefer to call it "linguistic dissonance".

"In the immortal words of Ayn Rand, STFU n00b." ~ A common variation of the sort of linguistic dissonance that one becomes acquainted with when "debating" on 4chan.

The Cunning Linguist

A codeman for a that can walk the walk and talk the talk with the best of the best. His codeman is usually mistaken for a sexual act or being a person that has sex in his mind but in reality refers to his ability to talk himself out of trouble or talk himself into convincing or fooling the ordinary person. A cunning linguist has a lot of confidence in what he says and does, keeps his word, and cuss someone out when mad. Other traits that define a cunning linguist being a smartass, bragging, and being witty.

He is such a suave talker that the ladies call him The Cunning Linguist.

linguicide

Used in linguistics, Speakers of a language start to use another language to the point where it starts to be used in the home and/or the next generation or subsequent generations do not learn the language. When the last speaker of a language dies so does the language. That language can never be heard again in a natural setting.

In California alone, linguicide is committed yearly. It's such a shame!
