Doublespeak...just bein' real.

Doublespeak is language that deliberately disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. Doublespeak may take the form of euphemisms (e.g., "downsizing" for layoffs), making the truth less unpleasant, without denying its nature. It may also be deployed as intentional ambiguity, or reversal of meaning (for example, naming a state of war "peace"). In such cases, doublespeak disguises the nature of the truth, producing a communication bypass. Wikipedia.

I prefer straight talk. I like to know exactly what I'm dealing with. Just give it to me real. Some people, of course, are so well versed in doublespeak it's their language of origin.

It's actually a form of control. A manipulation. Granted, sometimes the intent is good but that does not dismiss the fact that it nurtures a communication bypass.

Not all doublespeak is bad. Marketers use it to sell product and services. Politicians, teachers, preachers and a myriad of persuaders use it.

People in intimate relationships should not. Business partners, husbands and wives, and best friends should use straight talk. I'm just bein' real. Can you dig it?
