tough-talk

speaking in a tone intended to threaten your subject or audience, for the sole purpose of coercing them into believing or doing something; threaten. Common among politicians, law enforcement, gangsters, wiseguys, athletes, coaches, teachers. Best when used subtly.

Subtle tough-talk: (After being cut off by a freshly-licensed driver, at the red light, I got out of my car and went up to the driver's window). " You keep driving like that and someone's going to get hurt, and it isn't going to be me."

Overt tough-talk: "Oh, you don't understand me? No problemo, my fist speaks five languages."

Bronco Talk

Bronco Talk is prevalent across many IT companies and is a derivative of Water Cooler Talk. It randomly occurs when more than three people group up and start a loud, boistrous conversation about the Denver Broncos - more often than not it ends up being very distracting and non productive in terms of business and revenue. Often fueled by men who lack serious knowledge and understanding of professional football. An unusually long session of "Bronco Talk" can call the attention of a more senior employee that will issue a verbal warning to cease and desist.

"Dude, what the hell is going on over there?"

"Oh, that's Bronco Talk. Let it go man, they're idiots."

"I bet Kim will shut that shit down!"

stall talk

revealing conversations between friends that take place from their restroom stalls without any regard for the other people that are also occupying public restroom stalls.

I got caught in the middle of some pretty raunchy stall talk
in the Women's Room at the bar last night.
