Double Speak Entertainment

DOUBLE SPEAK is language deliberately constructed to disguise or distort its actual meaning, often resulting in a communication bypass. Such language is often associated with governmental, military, religious, and corporate institutions and its deliberate use by these is what distinguishes it from other euphemisms. Doublespeak may be in the form of bald euphemisms"downsizing" for "firing of many employees", "enhanced interrogation techniques" for torture or deliberately ambiguous phrases "wet work" for "assassination", "take out" for "destroy", "red tape" for "bureaucracy".
