Have you ever met someone who said some homophobic gobbledygook like, “Gays have equal/civil rights like everyone else. They don’t need special rights”?

Wordplay: Using doublespeak to manipulate your readers!

Doublespeak distorts, like a cuttlefish squirting ink. It makes the bad seem good, the negative positive, the unpleasant attractive.

It frames reality in a different way than it really is. For example, reframing an act of war as a “defensive freedom” and a “necessary action to protect our way of life”.

Types of Doublespeak:

Euphemism: Using mild or vague terms to mask harshness or unpleasantness.

Example: Referring to tax increase as “revenue enhancement”, shellshock as “”operational exhaustion”.

Jargon: Using special(pretentious, obscure) language that confuse, and exclude those not familiar with the terms.

Example: “The machine has a baseplate of prefabricated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing.”

Gobbledygook: Using complex, convoluted language to appear sophisticated and official.

Example: Instead of saying “We are cutting costs”, say “In alignment with our strategic operational objectives, we are initiating a paradigm shift in our financial allocation protocols to optimize resource utilization and enhance fiscal prudence across all departments.”

Inflated Language: Using grand words to make things appear more significant.

Example: Referring to a janitor as a “sanitation engineer”.

With doublespeak, deceptive language is normalized, politicians don’t lie but misspeak, illegal acts are inappropriate actions, and a fraud is a miscertification.

“If thought can corrupt language, then language can corrupt thought.” -George Orwell.

The above is my summary of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzsEp_hakK4

I like the concept of doublespeak, reframing, and tuning words to convey same-ish, yet different meanings.

Wordplay! Love it!

fmk Kane, Gobbledygooker, the guy who was literally just a bull

This was a personal attack, and I'm suing for emotional distress

F*ck: Mantaur - and this is said with my hands covering my face - but this is because I'm assuming he's also hung like a bull and that'd be all that was keeping me going at that point

Marry: Gobbledygooker - um...Hello...Guerrero? Only 1 degree of separation from Chavo and Eddie? DONE DEAL!!

Kill: Kane - I think @ayeeitsali said beautifully - conservative whack job - maybe with the mask the answer might be harder... but still probably a nah

Life is better when you see through two eyes, isn't it?

Life is better when you don't see at all. Why is that? I don't know. Ignorance or something. What do you think? What's ignorance mean? It means when you don't know that you don't know something. Isn't that pretty much everything? Aside from the things you do know? Yea I think so. How do we know what we do know is true? I don't know.

Shoot me a dm, with the preferred piece!! I'll let you know the price, and send you my venmo, Cash app, whatever you prefer. I'll mail it out to you once payment is processed, and give you a tracking number :).

All information is kept confidential, and once the beadpiece is confirmed as delivered, I'll send you another message to confirm you received it.

If there is any damage to the piece in the next 3 years, just send it back to me, I'll repair it free of charge!!
