Don't speak

Hym "If I'm commenting on something, I'm commenting on the parts a have read or have heard about. If what I'm saying is concordant with objective reality, then I am correct. End of discussion, faggot. It doesn't matter WHICH religion I'm speaking about. You're extra-crispy in all three. Don't speak to me about not speaking about things... Bitch... And FURTHERMORE, I'm like a wildly accredited academic with, like, a bunch of citations and am the greatest writer since Shakespeare."

speak potable

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."

No show no speak

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.
Person A: “Dude I keep getting picked on for apparently being a furry cause I have Sonic The Hedgehog as my profile picture

Person B: “Well, sorry bro, but unfortunately No show no speak, that’s just the way it is.”
