The voice of one's writings which embodies a completely different personality than that which is used naturally by an individual when speaking. Often times, there seems to be a formality which is uncharacteristic to the person that is used as a means of persuasion or description, even when writing to those to whom the individual is informal.
Following are two ways of conveying a message. First, using the paper persona, and second, using regular speech:
TEXT TRANSCRIPT
"There was a period of years where I, in a phase of morbid development, blamed myself for every occurrence of misfortune. However in recent days, I've learned to dissociate from that pattern."
SPOKEN
"For years, I just blamed myself for everything bad, man. But I've been working on it. I think I'm better now."

Get the toilet papermug. Pulling something bad off at work, which results in a written reprimand, which ends up on your personal file.
Ah shit man, you shouldn't have done that, "Now your going to end up with some 'Negative Paper' on your file!"

Get the Negative Papermug. Cockney rhyming slang for ‘caper’.
As in “what’s your brown paper?” Or what’s your game? (What are you up to?). Heard as far back as 1978, possibly earlier.
