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.

Speak now, or forever hold your piece

Refers to where da irate "paw" of a redneck chick is permitted only one opportunity to protest a horny stud's getting his "little pumpkin" preggo before he is permanently barred from demanding a shotgun wedding.
In da infamous "history of da yodel" tale, da enraged farmer unwittingly missed his single chance at recourse against da nameless traveler who had "gotten it on in da hayloft" with both his daughter AND his wife da night before --- said sly seed-spreader simply "had his fun" and then quietly slipped off far away before da man even knew what had happened --- and thus said furious family-head was made a victim of da old "Speak now, or forever hold your piece" scenario.
