Speech Geek

Sometimes misunderstood as a regular "geek," a Speech Geek is someone much, much more awesome! In fact, in high school, they're almost considered royalty. We have no problem getting up in front of people and speaking from the heart....especially when medals are included. Whether the speech is funny, boring, sad, or just makes no sense at all, Speech Geeks are probably the coolest people on the face of the earth, no exceptions.

Guy 1: Why is that other dude in front of the classes yelling?
Guy 2: He's a Speech Geek.
Guy 1: What a nerd.
Guy 2: You have no idea what a Speech Geek is, do you? Yeah, you're an idiot.

freedom of speech

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

In short, we can say what we want to say, within certain limits. Yes, you can say "FUCK YOU" to a police officer and call your lawyer (if you're stupid enough) and get away with it. You can't give threats or endanger public safety, however.

Basically, if you want to use it, keep your lawyer on speed dial and have deep pockets.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. -Part of the U.S Bill of Rights. Collect them all!

Nordic Speech

The act of getting so drunk, and emotional, that for no discernible reason you break into a Scandinavian accent, and tell someone you barely know how important they are to you.

Hey, Hamish is getting drunk again, think he'll go Nordic Speech on us again?

Hate Speech

Any speech I hate.

I'm offended by that -- that's hate speech.
