Expospeak Gag	comment	A joke based on describing something mundane using such technical language that it takes the audience a while to work out what's being talked about (though a Translator Buddy usually catches it right away). Mostly limited to Speculative Fiction, where it can be seamlessly slotted into the standard Expospeak, but occasionally turns up in other genres, especially when the characters are meant to be especially intelligent or academic, such as scientists or doctors. Sometimes used as a form of Unusual Euphemism (see Technical Euphemism) or to facilitate an Oops... I Did It Again plot where someone assumes the technical explanation refers to something much more serious than it really does. Can be used to implement a Tomato Surprise, ("Their only weakness is dihydrogen monoxide!") or serve as a MacGuffin as the hero engages in an Evidence Scavenger Hunt to work out what the Expospeak really means. (For example, the hero is told that the Monster of the Week is a "lycanthrope", and then has to spend the next few scenes doing research to discover that "lycanthrope" is another word for "werewolf.") This second variety is dangerous, as you often run the risk of making the hero look like a complete moron if the Expospeak isn't impenetrable enough. The number one all-time most common Expospeak Gag is, "He suggested that you perform an anatomically impossible act." Compare with Description Porn and Non-Poetic Mauve Text Reflective Of Electromagnetic Waves Measuring Between Three Hundred Eighty And Four Hundred Twenty Nanometers. See also Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness, Sophisticated as Hell, Layman's Terms, Blunt Metaphors Trauma, Narrative Profanity Filter, Spock Speak, Techno Babble, Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp", Antidisestablishmentarianism, Scary Science Words. Buffy Speak is the opposite. If a character forces someone else to expospeak, that's Insistent Terminology. A subtrope of Bathos.

As she's working on her resume, her daughter points out that listing part-time jobs like "waitress" doesn't look good. Instead, she uses fancy terms that make the position seem more important. However, when she goes to her first interview, the employer, a wizened middle-aged woman, sees right through the flowery language. She doesn't hire her, but she explains her own life story and how she started her now-successful business.

Essentially, a popular video clip is "translated" into Expospeak, Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness and dashed with Antiquated Linguistics and passed off as the "posh," "upper-class" or "old-time" version.

Expospeak Gag / int_2162a284	comment	MS Paint Adventures is chock full of exotic terms for usually mundane things. And in Homestuck, the trolls are particularly loquacious about it. In fact, using these for everyday objects is what differs low-caste speech from high-caste speech. Perhaps the most beloved example: Kanaya refers to exclamation marks, question marks, and periods as "shout poles", "surprise noodles", and "finish crumbs" respectively. Karkat later calls quotation marks "enclosure talons".

You have to read through paragraphs of dry scientific jargon before you get to the part about how containment requires a mother to willingly burn her young child on an altar. SCP-328 is a strange data storage device that contains a document which when decoded appears to be a description of a human-manufactured laptop computer seen from the perspective of aliens with very alien biology, such that some of them were killed by just the light given of by the laptop's screen. SCP-2700-EX, breast cancer, albeit slightly exaggerated in order to be classified as anomalous. Played for Drama. SCP-001-EX-J, which is breaking the rule a bit since it was supposedly written by cavemen. It's fire. SCP-042-J, the optical illusion when you close one eye and what you see moves slightly to the left or right. The phenomenon is blamed on pillows. It Makes Sense in Context. SCP-078-J. Namely, cooties. SCP-123-J, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!-brand butter substitute. SCP-666Â½-J, A crab-stuffed mushroom entrÃ©e that gave everybody that ate it the worst diarrhea you could imagine. The exact sequence of symptoms that it causes are described in hilariously over-the-top expo speak as multiple localized apocalypses happening in the victim's digestive system. SCP-727-J, the sun. SCP-1960-J, the moon. (No relation.) SCP-800-J, any sport that is not American football. SCP-885-J, titled Researcher Jacobs' Inability To Clean Up After Himself. SCP-1040-J, terrible everyday driving habits that lead to accidents. SCP-1344-J, the Kool-Aid man. SCP-1938-J, a Foundation researcher that always clicks spam emails. SCP-2008-J, a sports mascot. SCP-2412-J, Santa Claus, his sack of presents, and all nine of his reindeer, including Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. SCP-3467-J, a six-foot-tall janitor that likes chicken served in a bucket. Thus, it is referred to as a Man-Eating-Chicken. SCP-4055-J, opossoms. SCP-5200-J, mild rebellious behavior within kids. SCP-5280-J, non-metric measuring systems. SCP-DEALS-J, an ad campaign for a used car dealership.

Expospeak Gag / int_468bebb0	comment	A popular phrase in Britain (it's used by Fred Colon in the Discworld novel Men at Arms) is "extracting the urine"; a way of saying "taking the piss" without, well, actually saying "taking the piss". Another British example: as an expression of surprise, "seduce my antique footware!" instead of "fuck my old boots!" Similarly, "are you taking the clear golden liquid?/making off with the Michael?", (which may make more sense to non-Britons if you know that "taking the mickey" is a more polite of saying "taking the piss" * "micturation" being itself an example of this trope, meaning piss) and "Robert's the avuncular figure in your life!" (or individual variants of it) are fairly common ways of expressing surprise or satisfaction in a deliberately over the top and camp way. Yes, the nights get long and boring in Britain.

Expospeak Gag / int_4e45b093	comment	This quote from Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory: "I'm polymerized tree sap and you're an organic adhesive, so whatever verbal projectile you launch in my direction is reflected off of me, returns to its original trajectory and adheres to you." For those getting a headache from that, it's the old "I'm rubber and you're glue" retort. Another favorite, when he tries to trash-talk his opponent in a robot competition: "I'm given to understand that your mother is overweight. Now of course if that is the result of a glandular condition and not sloth and gluttony, I withdraw the comment. There are boundaries." Also, in the episode when Howard accidentally drives the Mars Lander into a ditch, Sheldon remarks, "I believe the appropriate metaphor here involves a river of excrement and a Native American water vessel without any means of propulsion", which was his way of saying "up shit creek without a paddle". Leonard explains Sheldon's relationship problems: "What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis?". The answer is, of course, screwed. "Howard told me my allegiance should be to male companions before women who sell their bodies on the street". In other words, "bros before hos". Often used in the show, of course, with Sheldon in particular. What's interesting is you often get two sets of canned laughter — one after the Expo Speak and another a few seconds later after the Layman's Terms translation. It's anyone's guess how much is due to different parts of the studio audience responding to different terms, and how much is the editors using a laugh track to simulate this effect.

In the third game, Tali will, at one point, get utterly smashed by introducing turian brandy into her environment suit via an "Emergency Induction Port" ("That's a straw, Tali" "emeeeergency... induction... port").

The following example is a petition he writes for the episode "Cafeteria Boycott", remade for television as "The Cafeteria Strike". Note the oddball combination of 50's slang, extensive "borrowing" from the Declaration of Independence, and assorted legalese (the petition omitted for time in the newest syndication cut of the show). Walter Denton is simply asking for Mr. Conklin to fire the incompetent new school chef.

Most famously: Also when Humphrey has been promoted and won't be working with Hacker anymore: Which Hacker misinterprets as meaning Humphrey is dying. Sir Humphrey even manages to weaponize it at one point. When a cache of British-made weapons start showing up in the hands of terrorists, Sir Humphrey has to start up an investigation into how they got them. However, Sir Humphrey has no interest in doing so, since that would inevitably lead to an investigation into how the British Government lost them in the first place, which in turn would make him look bad. So he puts out a memo which technically would kick off the investigation, but couches it in bureaucrat-ese so dense anyone who reads it's eyes will have glazed over before they understand what it's about.

Or as she puts it, "it measures your accelerative velocity and translates it into wing-power, thus gauging your cumulative H2O anti-gravitational potential".

Expospeak Gag / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: "The Time Meddler": At the end, the First Doctor breaks the dimensional controller of the TARDIS belonging to rival Time Lord the Monk, making the inside of the Monk's TARDIS the same size as the sarcophagus it uses as its outside â€” tiny, but perhaps just small enough to squeeze into. When the Monk shows up again in "The Daleks' Master Plan" hell-bent on revenge, they share this exchange: A trope much beloved by Robert Holmes, the writer of more than a few classic serials, usually to illustrate pompous stupidity. In "Carnival of Monsters", for example, arrogant aristocrat Orum says of the low-ranking Functionaries "Give them a hygiene chamber and they'll store fossil fuel in it." This is an Expospeak Gag on a line from the early 20th century, reflecting conservative class attitudes "If the workers had baths, they'd use them to keep the coal." Inverted in Holmes' "The Deadly Assassin". Rather than describe the Doctor's change of body by the rather more lofty "regeneration", a fellow Time Lord refers to them as "facelifts". "Horror of Fang Rock": "Four to Doomsday": Adric displays both his scientific knowledge and personal immaturity by irritatingly asking for the "sodium chloride", when he really means the salt. The same joke was later used in a Doctor Who spoof on Extras, where the Tenth Doctor defeats a ridiculous slug-like creature by throwing "sodium chloride" at it after spouting off lines of obvious expospeak. "The Girl in the Fireplace": Sent up when the Doctor admits that he said "spatio-temporal hyperlink" because he didn't want to say "magic door". "The Idiot's Lantern": The Doctor, on how he plans to get rid of the villain: "Turn Left": Captain Magambo outfits Donna with the gear she'll need for her mission. "Let's Kill Hitler": "Miniaturisation ray?" "How do you know that?" "Well, there was a ray and then we were miniaturised..." And this time, the Doctor didn't say it. That may be a first. "The Tsuranga Conundrum": After the Doctor delivers some technobabble, Ronan asks Yaz if she's also "experiencing comprehension difficulty".

In one sketch with an exploding penguin on top of a TV, one Pepperpot said: "Oh, intercourse the penguin!". In another, when one Pepperpot was proven wrong about something, she said "Coitus!" In both cases, the Pepperpot was referring to the 4-letter "F-word". Interestingly, "intercourse the penguin" wasn't in the script. John Cleese reacts with visible surprise and almost laughs.

Expospeak Gag / int_dc25de3f	comment	Portal makes a Running Gag out of the Expospeak used by Aperture Laboratories to describe the company's inventions. The most obvious example is the "1500 Megawatt Aperture Science Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super-Button", which is, in fact, a pressure plate that resembles an overly large red button. GLaDOS also likes to use Buffy Speak (the "Aperture Science Thing We Don't Know What It Does") and oblique terminology ("victory candescence") to describe the ways she isn't not going to kill you. Portal 2, on the other hand, takes this and runs with it, giving us such gems as: Excursion Funnel — a tractor beam Aerial Faith Plate — a spring-loaded platform Thermal Discouragement Beam — a laser Pneumatic Diversity Vent — a human-sized pneumatic tubenote not included in the final game Repulsion Gel — turns walls and floors into trampolines Propulsion Gel — turns floors into a run-faster area The Edgeless Safety Cube — a ball Turret Redemption Line — a conveyor belt laden with broken turrets heading into an incinerator Check out the blink-and-you'll-miss-it diagrams and labels in some of the trailers. The Turret trailer (0:20): The turret's outer shell "opens and retracts in relation to proximity of incident in need of resolution". In other words, if the turret sees you (the "incident in need of resolution"), it'll open its magazines and shoot you. Also, "Warning: Standing near turret may result in accidental empathy suppression". In other words, if the turret sees you, it'll open its magazines and shoot you. The Long Fall Boots trailer: 0:17 — "Test Subject Vitality Trial: Vertical Deceleration Chamber": It's a test to see if you'll survive ("test subject vitality") making impact with the floor after falling from a great height ("vertical deceleration"). 0:35 — In the long fall boots, the "Velocity Challenge Brace" is the spring that lessens the impact of landing on your feet. The Bot Trust trailer (0:19) — "Unilateral Force-Induced Isokinetic Breakfast Trial". It's a robot using one arm ("unilateral") to flip pancakes â€” or, as the case may be, to hit himself repeatedly with a frying pan ("isokinetic": "of or relating to muscular action with a constant rate of movement"). In-game, Wheatley attempting to "manually override" a wall. In other words, whacking it until it collapses.

Expospeak Gag / int_fd8221d2	comment	Many Wikipedia pages were used by some rogue authors to transfer this to articles with risquÃ© topics, e.g. for Baby Got Back the lyrics were summarized this way. It began with expospeaking "I like big butts and I cannot lie" as "In the opening verse, Sir Mix-a-Lot professes his affinity for large buttocks and his inability to disguise this fact from others" and only got better from there. Ditto for an old revision of C is for Cookie. The '90s rap song "Got Your Money" had a similar page: "The song is initially dedicated exclusively to the world's population of attractive females until ODB seems to have pangs of guilt for not including ladies who might be considered 'homely' or 'ugly,'" Especially prone to this treatment are usually rap songs since they usually contain quite a bit of vulgarity or general raunch that even rap fans admit is pretty extreme. Take for example, a version of the page for Lil Kim's song "How Many Licks?" However, these versions don't last long on the site since this isn't official Wikipedia policy but inserted by contributors trying to intentionally use this trope.
