Cop speak

A subset of bafflegab intended both to lend glory to mundane events and to obfuscate unethical or violent actions. Examples might include “the alleged perpetrator proceeded in a northerly direction via vehicle” for “he drove north”, “sworn members” for “cops”, and “arrested after a brief use-of-force encounter” for “we beat him up”.

The press conference after the shooting was full of the kind of cop speak you’d expect from Public Affairs.

sport-speak

emotional words and phrases from real-life that are used in Sports terms and do not reflect the actual hate and venom the real-life situations depicted --- i.e. "Kill the Packers" chant Chicago Bears fans, but they don't want to physically kill the Green Bay Packers (we assume) --- you follow? --- Go Bears!!!

Bears fans hope the Lions "sack the Pack" --- in a sport-speak "Kill the Packers"
