Doublespeak is language deliberately constructed to disguise or distort its actual meaning, often resulting in a communication bypass. What distinguishes doublespeak from other euphemisms is its deliberate usage. Doublespeak may be in the form of bald euphemisms such as "downsizing" for "firing of many employees"; or deliberately ambiguous phrases such as "wet work" for "assassination" and "take out" for "destroy".

Debut
May this spontaneous blog of analogies grow like Algae in a fish tank, Beans in wet cotton wool, Light in a sparkler.
May the friendship stick like Bees and honey, Super glue and fingers, Bubble gum and hair.
