The term "speak potable" originates from the Italian peninsula; it is a coined expression to convey the need for a more fluid and understandable conversation, akin to potable water. If someone "speaks potable," it means they are proficient in expressing themselves well in the language.
Example 1:
Rizu: "I'm preparing a presentation for tomorrow's meeting."
Slurp: "Make sure to speak potable; we need to be clear with all the details."
Example 2:
Slurp: "I overheard their discussion, but they didn't seem to speak potable at all."
Rizu: "It's important to communicate clearly, especially in important conversations."

Get the I speak keyboard... mug.A quote meaning: “If you don’t want people to talk about something, then don’t show it off. Or in more technical terms, don’t have it easily visible at all.”
The quote teaches the lesson that unfortunately most people use visible first impressions to determine a person’s entire character. So only show off things you know will either go down well, or at the very least you can back up when criticism is thrown your way.
