Speak white

What some English-speaking Canadians say to French-speaking Canadians. Utterly racist and absurd, for Mediterranean people are white.

- Oui, bonjour, monsieur, je voudrais...
- Speak white, you bastard!
- Wait, aren't we in Montréal, Québec?
- That's Mont-reel and Kwe-beck, you non-white speaker!
- I'm actually whiter than you, buy okay... connard.

Cop speak

A subset of bafflegab intended both to lend glory to mundane events and to obfuscate unethical or violent actions. Examples might include “the alleged perpetrator proceeded in a northerly direction via vehicle” for “he drove north”, “sworn members” for “cops”, and “arrested after a brief use-of-force encounter” for “we beat him up”.

The press conference after the shooting was full of the kind of cop speak you’d expect from Public Affairs.
