Officially established under the National Forensic League, and the National Catholic Forensic League
generally consists of the following categories:
OO- original oratory- ten minute original memorized speech on any topic you want as long as it has contemporary significance - the best category in my opinion
DI/HI- dramatic/ humorous interpretation- ten minute memorized monolage usually about rape and death unless its humorous then its obviously about something else - unless you find those kind of things....funny?
OI- oral interpretation- the reading of poetry and prose- very artsy very interesting if you are into that sort of thing
DEC- declamation- memorized non-original speech pretty straightforward - sorry fellas -only for freshmen and sophmores
EXTEMP- extemporaneous speaking- you have to make an "extemp box" with newspapers and magazines, you get 30 minutes to make an seven minute speech off the top of your head after drawing a random card on current events. - its super fun.
DUO- duo - two people in a memorized ten minute exchange of acting , except you cant face or touch....ha each other , yes those are rules.
LD- Lincoln Douglas Debate- one on one debate - ur given a resolution and you roll with it make sure you prepare a negative and affirmative case beforehand.
POLICY- policy debate - team debate. Exactly that.
CONGRESS- i seriously have no idea what this is but its really only at national or college tournaments
Speech and Debate is a club- not a way of life as some would suggest
but it takes alot of time if you really care about it
don't get carried away
its not cool to wear "forensics" lettermen jackets. and it never will be.
This club is a great way to meet people, sound intelligent, improve your studying and memorization skills and have alot of fun. ( yes im really serious)

Someone who is a master at debating, or arguing.
This person also tends to be an asshole, there name usually begins with Colton and is laughed at by friends and enemies alike, because the given nickname sounds like masturbator.

A debate or discussion on the Internet between members of a community. Its where a person creates a thread to ask other peoples opinions on a subject. From as mundane as Cupcakes or Muffins or to more serious discussions such as abortion. People who partake are often called to defend their stance.
The Zelda Universe forum was full of Internet Debates ranging from whose the most innocent video game character to Is Obama doing the right thing.

Ace: Did you watch the Presidential Debate? Via: Yes. It was the best circus show I've seen since 89. Two elephants, too!

n. Possibly the most pointless, irrational form of debate on the Internet today, a YouTube debate is when two or more people get into an argument via the comments section on YouTube. The topics may include politics, Megadeth vs. Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, the paranormal, how VEVO sucks, or perhaps most laughably, gang affiliations. As with your average forum fighter, those who start (or engage in) these debates are often just trolls, but some actually take them seriously, to the point of getting emotional. Also, they generally contain numerous spelling and grammar errors.
