About: Doublespeak   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Doublespeak is a language solely constructed to baffle, disorient, and reduce namby-pambies to tears. The antagonist intentionally disguises the actual meaning, resulting in a sheer "lack of communication" (don't confuse this with the '84 AOR hit of Ratt, folks). Characterized by shoddy euphemisms ("losing's better than quitting" or participation certificates) and blatantly ambiguous phrases ("Stay the course"), doublespeak has become the tacit code for complete social inadequacy.
