use your words

When spoken to children, this phrase communicates a gentle reminder to speak clearly and enunciate. When spoken to adults, this phrase communicates both insult and an urgent desire to be kicked or punched squarely in the nose without any hesitation.

For this reason, careful consideration should always be made about the approximate age of the person speaking, not only out of respect but in avoidance of severe pain, injury, and bloodshed assuming none is wanted.
Please speak more clearly. I'm confident you can do this. Just use your words.

weasel words

Language designed to have a built in an escape hatch, to make it look like you are being bound without actually being bound.
When you say "Solely for the purposes of confirmation of the Amended Plan, and for no other purpose, the Parties agree that they will not assert that the Springing Lien Trigger Date has occurred," you are using weasel words.

Though most commonly used with reference to rapping/MCing to a beat, how an artist plays with the acoustics or meaning of words for artistic effect within song, written verse, poem or freestyle

This includes the constructing of bars/lines with:

words of double/triple meaning for humour or effect.

words that are not obviously recognisable as rhymes to one another when pronounced correctly yet may share assonance and there for can be used in place of standard rhymes structurally with in a verse.

Also multiple rhyme patterns within lines added for show effect and cohesion.

Wordplay is one of the technical areas that can be assessed when judging how technically skilled an rapper/MC is.

Pharaohe Monch,Big L,Big Pun, Eminem are some examples of MC's whose work can be particually rich in wordplay.

five related words 

Some dumb bullshit the Urban Dictionary developers thought up to try boosting their tags system. Even though the tags system holds no relevance in the site, and some words have no 5 related words (like p), you still have to bullshit up 5 related words.

Right up there with "Location", which nobody in their right mind would ever honestly fill out.
Tags should be at least five related words, separated by commas.
