Headline Speak

Speaking with extreme brevity, in the way of a news headline. A natural shift in language for the Gen Y gang who thrives on Tweets, Emot-icons, and Vanity Plates.

Instead of saying, "It has been discovered that Captain John Smith engaged in sexual relations with a Native Indian woman known as Pocahontas", I used my Headline Speak and said, "Captain Boned a Native".

Dolphin Speak

When a group of girls or women, usually close friends, get excited while talking to each other. They start talking rapidly, in a high pitched tone.

I saw your little sister at the mall. I don’t know where she was headed, because Becky showed up. Then some dolphin speak started about a boy, or a skirt, or was it chocolate.

All I know, is that my ears are still ringing.

Stapp Speak

Talking or singing like Scott Stapp, the lead singer of post grunge band Creed. There are three basic guidelines for proper Stapp Speak:

1) the mouth must be shaped to pronounce "R" at all times. 2) The last vowel of most words the Stapp Speaker uses must be substituted with "errah", "err", or "eeya". Translated into Stapp Speak: Therrah lerrast vowerrl errahf merahst werrahds therrah Sterrahp Speakerrah userrahs merrust berrah substituterrahed with "errah", "err", or "eeya". This rule may be omitted to certain words by the Stapp Speaker's own judgment. 3) When all else fails, just make it sound stupid.

Singing in this voice can at worst lead to vocal damage and at best make everyone hate your band.

In Stapp Speak: Can you terrahk me higherah? To a plerrce werrah blernd merrahn serrah?
