Language is linear. Use and context establish tone, with an expectation for its continuation. When one suddenly uses a register, dialect, or vocabulary at a significant distance from that previously employed, the effect is really freakin' weird. There's a certain humor in playing with different levels of language use, and the common trick is to mix "sophisticated" language (such as Spock Speak, Antiquated Linguistics, Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness, Gratuitous Foreign Language, or extremely formal Received Pronunciation British) with "unsophisticated" language (such as the Cluster F-Bomb, Totally Radical, or Buffy Speak), with the necessary awkwardness on both sides. Common examples include: A quote misattribution ("In the words of the great Oscar Wilde, STFU n00b"). Suggesting a "technical", "professional", or obscure foreign term, followed by slang or profanity ("Your engine is what we in the business describe as 'completely screwed'." "He's what Freud used to call 'spooky'." "As the French say, you, my friend, are le utter cock.") or following a lengthy formal or descriptive analysis. Slang speech or vulgarity is quoted in an official capacity or environment ("Following the officer's formal warning, the accused threatened to 'pop a cap' in the officer's posterior"). Many varieties of Flowery Insults, especially when used in a diplomatic or government context. Slang delivered innocuously in a formal speech, especially from someone upper-class. An attempt at Jive Turkey slang couched in academic or formal terminology, often drifting into Totally Radical. A normally formal character resorting to profanity due to intense circumstances (see: Precision F-Strike). A subtrope of Bathos. Compare Buffy Speak, Jive Turkey, Delusions of Eloquence, Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick, Technical Euphemism. Textbook Humor is often of this type. Not to be mistaken by name for Wicked Cultured. Precision F-Strike is a subtrope. With Due Respect is a common way of getting to this trope. See also Foreign Cuss Word. Contrast with Expospeak Gag, where a slangy phrase is disguised in excessively formal language (although they can overlap if the speaker then "clarifies" what they were saying, probably while raising an eyebrow). |

Occasionally appears on Adventure Time: In "Go With Me", Finn and Marceline go to the couples' movie night, but quickly grow tired of the sappy romantic movie playing. Princess Bubblegum constantly shifts from high-fantasy-dialogue to Buffy Speak or hip-hop slang in the same sentence. For example, in "You Made Me!", where she tries to bribe the Notorious Pup Gang into living with the Earl of Lemongrab: |

Starcraft has one between Jim Raynor, a human, and Fenix, a Crystal Spires and Togas Proud Warrior Race Guy Protoss. Paraphrased: Kerrigan also tends to keep a civil tone and appeal to other peoples sense of reason to come to an agreement that is acceptable to both sides. And then calmly explains why she is sending her swarms to slaughter them once she got what she wanted. |

X-Men: Beast lives on this trope. Either he spouts poetry while beating the crap out of someone, or he'll attempt to have a civilized debate with a person and, once it's obvious the other person isn't really listening, follow up with low-brow insults or blowing a raspberry. | |

This is the default method of speech for any installment of MS Paint Adventures; Problem Sleuth loved to intersperse its fluid and verbose narration with abrupt switches to badass one-liners. Homestuck then took this trope and refined it into something of a high art form. Homestuck also uses jarringly misattributed quotes, such as this one: In terms of individual characters, though, special mention must go to Dirk's auto-responder. Dave, who likes to write raps, also does this very often. Jake English uses this frequently, in the form of mixing early-twentieth century speech and ridiculous minced oaths with ordinary swearing. Jane is also fond of this, mixing in some of Jake's old-time language with Rose's love of long, redundant words. Rose herself pulls this frequently, right through Homestuck and into the dubiously canon sequel Homestuck: Beyond Canon, where she, or at least one version of her, is a robot now because of The Homestuck Epilogues. |

One episode of Mission Hill had Kevin get in trouble for saying the word "douchebag" at school, and his brother Andy was called to discuss the situation. The prim and proper principal wouldn't say the word out loud so he instead wrote it on a piece of paper in very elegant, cursive handwriting. This just makes the brothers crack up laughing, with Andy apologetically explaining that he'd never seen the word written so nicely before. | |

The Simpsons: In the very first "Treehouse of Horror", the third segment is an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, which pretty much uses the poem word for word, except for a brief deviation, since Bart plays the raven. "Quoth the raven, 'Eat my shorts!'" This exchange: The socialite woman's reaction to Homer pushing her aside to catch an elevator: "How dreadfully rude! I do hope someone stabs him in the eye." And the aftermath of Lisa cheating in Shirley Temple Expy Little Vicky's class: "Why, I am ever so pissed!" Then there's Lisa's description of Mr Burns as a "monopolistic, self-aggrandising... umm... stinky-pants!" A tamer version shows up in a Treehouse of Horror episode. When Homer finds himself in a mysterious 3D realm (or as he says, "has anyone seen TRON?"), this happens: In an episode where Homer and Marge have to choose between vacationing in Florida or attending an elderly relative's birthday: When Bart and Lisa are confronted with the task of overloading the power grid in 'Scuse Me While I Miss The Sky... Number 1 of the Stonecutters, voiced by the great Patrick Stewart; happily indulges in this; Unintentionally done by Sideshow Bob when he tries to mock construction workers' catcalls: In "Bart's Friend Falls In Love," Homer tries listening to a subliminal messaging tape to lose weight, unaware that he's been sent a vocabulary improvement tape instead, causing him to speak in Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness. "Lisa the Vegetarian," as Lisa and Homer give each other the Silent Treatment: |

Dominic Deegan gives us an instance where experimental "fire monkeys" are running around. It later turns out the monkeys were not only hamming up their actions, but speak in a very refined, charming fashion. Lookie here. "Lo and beware this prophecy of doom ... Fire, destruction and death shall descend upon this village if YOU MORONS DON'T GET THE HELL OFF MY PROPERTY!" Later on, Dominic and Luna come face to face with a dragon (an extremely rare creature in this world). The two are left awe-struck, and once it leaves they "reacted the way any pair of intellectuals would have." Shortly thereafter, they visit Olde Tucklebruck Island and Luna tastes some of the native halflings' famous beer. After impressing the innkeeper with her connoisseurship and eloquent commentary on the beer, he lets her try his finest, most prized brew: "The Orion." Her response? Special mention should go to the Wild Edge's slimes who seem brainless to those who can't speak their language, but... |

In the Miraculous Ladybug fanfic Fox Rain Lila Rossi usually speaks in a polite and semi-formal pattern of speech, but whenever she speaks in Italian (or rather Romanesco, Rome's dialect) she becomes incredibly vulgar-in fact the first Italian phrase she speaks on-page translates literally as "Get in a whale's ass" (it's actually a very common way to say "good luck" in Italy). The author stated that he writes Lila as from Rome specifically to get this effect, as Rome's dialect is (in)famous in Italy for its vulgarity and he finds funny it coming out of a polite and sophisticated girl as Lila. | |

Michele's formula for the glue on Post-its from Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. Given Michele's character and unsophisticated language she uses throughout the rest of the film, the last thing we expect from her is a plausible, highly detailed answer. We later find out this was only her dream of what happened. At the real reunion they get humiliated for claiming to have invented Post-its: | |

Cracked.com articles tend to be like this. For example, Five Superpowers Science Will Give Us In Our Lifetime but he says, describes future scientific breakthroughs with the glee of a child and the mind of an adult: He spent the rest of the day in a state scientifically categorized as "high off his tits." Another one: If Juggalos got their own News Channel. He (Wilhelm Voight) couldn't get a job without a passport, and he couldn't get a passport without a job. This is referred to in literary circles as "Catch-this-is-fucking-bullshit-22". Again we must refer to the scientific phenomenon called People Making Up Bullshit. So the cops must have been half expecting it when the coroner returned with the cause of death: "Sudden, acute onset of damned if I know." Trying their hand at the quoting variety as well: "As Friedrich Nietzsche famously said, "Hey, you! STOP HITTING THAT HORSE! WHHAARRRRGGARHABLGLL!" (Nietzsche suffered a lot of mental decay.)" On the topic of Final Fantasy VII's traveling by airship, submarine, and foot: Quoth Jesus: "Giveth unto the least of my brothers your charity, that thou shalt forever after see the grace and beauty of these glorious boobs, and that thou mayest maybe juggle them at some point, which thou will findeth most pleasurable." According to 5 Hilarious Legal Defenses Actually Attempted in Court: "Cracked's legal department went over this defense, and in their professional opinion, they determined that this argument is best described as 'fucktarded.'" From 6 Crazy Attempts to Hire a Killer That Failed Miserably: "Back in the 1950s, a psychiatrist named Dr. Charles Pearman decided that he'd had enough of life's cruel game and decided to troll the seediest bar he could find for a disreputable gent willing to shoot him in the chest for $500. He'd recently gotten divorced, lost a substantial lawsuit against the Detroit Police Department, and professed his love to a totally uninterested married woman, all things that are known in the field of forensic psychology as "real bummers."" "As the great George Washington once said, 'Cracked.com's new book, The De-Textbook, is available wherever books are sold, pre-order your copy today!'" |

Forced on Brain in an episode of Animaniacs. As "Noodle Noggin", he'd talk in the way he usually speaks... on a kids' show. So an established character on the show would bop him on the head mid-sentence and he'd switch over to speaking like Pinky. Apparently, the fake Show Within a Show made a Running Gag of this. In an episode of his spinoff show, Brain becomes a stand-up comedian as part of his latest scheme. Unfortunately, his jokes tend to be highly obscure prompting a bunch of hecklers. Brain then proceeds to insult the hecklers in an incredibly erudite and Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness filled manner ("I find you REPUGNANT!"). The audience finds it hilarious and Brain becomes a hit. The Warners are given to this kind of thing too, especially Yakko. The segments where Yakko reads Shakespeare and Dot translates it. Example: |

SCP Foundation: The "Doctors of the Church" canon phrases the canon summary as a religious text where a mass Keter outbreak has collapsed civilization and forced the senior Foundation staff to rebuild the Foundation as a religion with Dr. Bright as God/Jesus in order to restore order. Bright is not happy about this in the slightest. The arboreal glade where names are forbidden and inhabitants and features thereof cannot be referred to using any consistent designations, forcing the Foundation to use a variety of terms ranging from "the forest outside normative space" to "the fluffy one". |

Total Drama: In The Legend of Total Drama Island, the narrative tends to be flowery and faintly antiquated, to lend a "legendary" flavor; but the dialogue is modern teenspeak or middle-of-the-road colloquial English because that's how the characters speak in the source material. Courtney and the Violin of Despair has an intentional example. The description of the school orchestra performing Tchaikovsky's fourth symphony includes the phrases "pretty much" and "work their butts off", in marked contrast to the story's usually florid narrative style. Total Drama Returns has Gwen reciting this poem from her journal: |

"Dona eis requiem" is "grant them rest", actually; it's from the Funeral Mass. Still pretty funny. Every other Monty Python film, too, for that matter, or indeed, almost everything that Monty Python ever produced contains at least one instance of this, to the point where's it's become not only expected of them but of British comedy in general. And culminating in John Cleese's eulogy at Graham Chapman's funeral. And manly tears. |

In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Spock (still recovering from having his mind and body reunited) somewhat misunderstands Kirk's explanation of 20th-century profanity, leading to him making normally out-of-character statements such as "One damn minute, Admiral." "They are not the hell your whales!" He does it again at the end of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country — "If I were human, I believe my response would be 'go to hell'... if I were human". |

xkcd These two early xkcd strips. One of the ultimate usages of this trope is another xkcd strip. A fourth xkcd strip utilizes this trope, though it may be a Precision F-Strike instead. Comic 798 investigates the frequency with which the intensifiers "fucking" and "as shit" are paired with various adjectives. Things like "fucking piquant" are surprisingly common, although at the the time of the comic, nobody had used the phrase "fungible as shit". xkcd strikes again. Actually twice more, if you read the rollover text. |

Sword Art Online Abridged: Godfried, a dedicated roleplayer, always speaks in Ye Olde Butchered English. Kuradeel starts his "The Reason You Suck" Speech against him with "Wouldst thou shuteth the fuck up?!" Earlier, Godfried himself managed a nice insult without breaking character. |

In an episode of his spinoff show, Brain becomes a stand-up comedian as part of his latest scheme. Unfortunately, his jokes tend to be highly obscure prompting a bunch of hecklers. Brain then proceeds to insult the hecklers in an incredibly erudite and Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness filled manner ("I find you REPUGNANT!"). The audience finds it hilarious and Brain becomes a hit. | |

BioShock gives us this nugget: The default answer is "No, I'm afraid murdering him kindly would be impossible." There is Subtext here: the use of "Would you kindly" is justified a short time later in plot. The use of "son of a bitch" is justified in that the speaker is royally poshed. Although it would be possible to kindly get to Ryan's office and then unkindly kill him... no matter his lineage. Also, from the tone of voice used, it's pretty clear he's being sardonic. Or, you know, considering the Subtext, he wants you to think that's what he's doing. |

Mass Effect: One assignment in the first game has the reporter Khalisa al-Jilani asking Shepard probing questions, and one of the possible answers to her questions makes Shepard say "I have had enough of your snide insinuations" before punching her roughly in the face. Khalisa is back in Mass Effect 2. This time you tell her "I've had enough of your disingenuous assertions" and punch her again. Mass Effect 3 goes three for three with "I've had enough of your tabloid journalism!" and another punch...which she dodges. which you can then counter with a headbutt. Say what you will about him, but Udina does a nice job of borrowing Kevin Rudd's "political shitstorm" line in the second game if you picked Anderson over him for the council seat in the first. Only when talking to Matriarch Aethyta can a person hear "anthropocentric" and "bag of dicks" in the same sentence. Mordin Solus manages to make even the explicit part sophisticated. He doesn't just call his ex-boss an ass or a dick. He calls him a cloaca, which is the scientific term for an organ which (in many species of birds and amphibians, and apparently salarians) functions as both an ass and a dick. He then suggests that his ex-boss has a blockage up his cloaca. He then suggests that the blockage is the boss' cranium (head). |

In Star Trek In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Spock (still recovering from having his mind and body reunited) somewhat misunderstands Kirk's explanation of 20th-century profanity, leading to him making normally out-of-character statements such as "One damn minute, Admiral." "They are not the hell your whales!" He does it again at the end of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country — "If I were human, I believe my response would be 'go to hell'... if I were human". Star Trek: Generations, Data swears after getting an emotion chip installed. Star Trek: First Contact: Data, someone who is very formal most of the time, says in response to the possibility of mutiny charges for ignoring orders: "I believe I speak for everyone on the ship when I say: 'To hell with our orders'." Drunken Deanna Troi on Zefram Cochrane: "If you're looking for my professional opinion, as ship's counsellor... he's nuts." Riker immediately Lampshades it. Star Trek Beyond, Spock is severely injured and comments as McCoy attempts to cauterize his wounds by distracting him first on the theory it will hurt less: |

Following this, the Stone is left alone beside a simple wooden bowl—confirmed by Word of God to be the Holy Grail—and the two magical artifacts exchange greetings: | |

Deltarune: In both Chapter 1 and 2. In Chapter 1, Rouxls Kaard speaks in extreme Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe and pirate lingo in his chapter 2 rematch, but he tends to drop it when flustered, leading to lines like: In Chapter 2, Queen is a battery acid martini-sipping despotic ruler who has a Noblewoman's Laugh and a harpsichord-laden Leitmotif... who's also an incredibly goofy Womanchild who can't help being Affably Evil, leading to absolute gems such as this, when Susie challenges her to a fight: |

Concerned has this in one of Frohman's letters to Breen (in fact, the one that named the comic). A letter from the original game simply read "Dear Doctor Breen: Why has the Combine seen fit to suppress our reproductive cycle? Sincerely, a concerned citizen." Concerned reveals that it was actually heavily edited to air, because the "unedited version" featured lines like "I got no angle in my dangle! You feel me?" | |

One of them is a mustachioed Victorian Scooby who speaks in a much more refined English than most others. When another vampire Scooby shows up wanting blood and Scooby Snacks, the Gotham by Gaslight Batman calmly states that it appears to be a "devil hound" like the Baskerville case.

In one episode of Futurama, Bender joins the Robot Mafia and finds himself ordered to take part in a heist that involves robbing the Planet Express ship of its cargo. To keep Fry and Leela from finding out that he's one of the robbers, Bender doesn't enter the room until they're blindfolded. He then switches a dial that makes him go from a "robot" voice to a "king" voice, essentially giving him an English accent while talking the same way. Bender is especially given to this whenever he gets in a Tyrant Takes the Helm situation, as in "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz" when Fry lashes out against his behavior as "captain." Fry isn't immune to this either, naturally. And Zapp Brannigan. Recovering from Phlebotinum-Induced Stupidity in "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid" causes Leela to invert the usual order of this gag by switching out of Hulk Speak midsentence. |

The Angry Video Game Nerd can go from properly explaining the game to cursing like a mad man without effort. The most notable example in his re-revist to the Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde on NES when he explains that the game is symbolic and represents mankind's struggle between good and evil... before concluding that the game just fucking sucks. Another variation of this trope concluded his review of Godzilla for the Game Boy: "The best way to sum this up is to recite a very famous quote from William Shakespeare: Fuck it." His Ghosts and Goblins review ends with him lampshading that he has no new material and has to rely on "the classics" which includes the "Precision F-Strike": "Oh, this game lures you in with its bouquet of [...] and then bends you over and fucks you in the ass!". | |

"Puddinghead was mother-bucking insane." When Hurricane demands that Trencher (his daughter's secret lover) be handed over to him for trial, Puddinghead responds with a formal letter that ends with a crude message and cruder drawing mocking the interracial couple. |

In The Secret World, in the Transylvania story mission "Mortal Sins", we learn the story of the Draculesti, a group of vampire hunters founded by Count Vlad Dracula (whose descendants are understandably miffed at how Bram Stoker depicted him) to defeat Mara, his wife who became a powerful vampire. The story ends with a prophecy concerning both Mara's return and Vlad's revival to fight her, which is written in Purple Prose until the final line is punctuated by a profane reference to Mara. (Anastasia, who's translating the passage, notes that she's "paraphrasing, of course.") | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: An exchange in the first film: Jack Sparrow also loves this trope, mixing pirate slang like 'mate' 'onesies' and 'savvy' with vocabulary like 'miscreants' 'superfluous' and 'ecumenically.' Pintel and Ragetti have their moments too, despite usually being pretty dumb. |

Epic Rap Battles of History often delves into this territory when the combatants are more on the sophisticated side. One example that comes to mind is Gordon Ramsay vs Julia Child. The actress playing Child imitates her distinctive voice perfectly. William Shakespeare stands out for including Antiquated Linguistics in his first verse along with more modern insults (in Gratuitous Iambic Pentameter, no less). This also extends to Romeo and Juliet. |

Pretty much every time the preacher speaks in Blazing Saddles. Hedley Lamarr can also delve into this, such as finishing a Purple Prose-laden spiel about how his mind is full of brilliant ideas by calling his chief henchman a shitkicker. Even the monosyllabic Dumb Muscle Mongo gets a moment of this with his surprisingly philosophical line "Mongo only pawn in game of life." | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In Whispers, Moonthistle and Silvermane are fond of this, mixing Antiquated Linguistics with innuendo and slang. On one occasion, one character even pairs it with a Precision F-Strike. A Brief History of Equestria: When the author (that is to say, Twilight) is describing how the different tribal leaders' various problems led to the failing of the Shouting Congress; the reasons given for Commander Hurricane and King Aurum (stubbornness/racism and figurehead status, respectfully) are quite detailed and well explained, but then we get to the reasons for Chancellor Puddinghead... "Puddinghead was mother-bucking insane." When Hurricane demands that Trencher (his daughter's secret lover) be handed over to him for trial, Puddinghead responds with a formal letter that ends with a crude message and cruder drawing mocking the interracial couple. In Romance and the Fate of Equestria, Princess Luna has a transition period as she adapts to modern language. |

AV Club column "IMDBates" examines internet flamewars with the same detail and language one might use to document a trial. For instance "Reducing [the Joker] to such a base interpretation of "Omigod he's hawt!!!" robs him of his effectiveness, and reveals a shallow understanding of the film. Plus, all you ladies are sicko pervs." This trope in general is what makes The Onion hilarious, with its deadpan, well-articulated descriptions of banal/vulgar/stupid things. One memorable example, from Elementary Schooler Clearly Just Learned to Swear; "In the past two days, Schweder has composed a ribald song titled 'Shit Shit Boobies,' covered three sheets of notebook paper with scatological malediction, and attempted to tell a joke about 'a girl who saw a boy's pussy'." Of all the mastery of this trope in The Onion, perhaps the most memorable is the columnist Smoove B: "Supreme Court Rules Death Penalty Totally Badass". Supreme Court Upholds Freedom of Speech in Obscenity-Filled Ruling. "This man here, who invokes the sign of the horns merely to indicate his joy that his microwave popcorn is done: he is not metal." |

The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! has Molly, a furry bipedal creature who essentially sprang from an experimental genetic serum spilled into a jar of peanut butter. She has a super genius level IQ, yet is chronologically less than two years old — and has a tendency to ping-pong from sophisticated to simplistic in her speech... sometimes two or three times in a single sentence. | |

This is one of many tropes that F.A.T.A.L. provides an example of how not to use. The "historically and mythologically accurate scholarship" is interspersed with vulgarity that would make a drunken frat-boy wince, with a note that this was added for humorous effect. "Experience an accumulation of gas in their rectum"note this is how a spell that makes a character fart is described indeed. | |

Fantastic Four: In Fantastic Four: True Story, the villain Nightmare is attacking the concept of fiction, sending his demons into fictional realms to destroy the principal characters in famous literary works. At one point, the FF fight off a horde of demons who are attacking the Dashwood sisters. The Thing combines this trope with his customary Pre-Asskicking One-Liner (but getting his Jane Austen books confused), announcing, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!" Another story involved the team witnessing alternate universe versions of themselves. In one, set in an Elizabethan milieu, Chamberlain Grimm announces, "Milady, 'tis the clobbering hour." |

The Heretic manual does this, possibly by design but also jarringly, as it alternatingly and simultaneously tries to sound appropriate for a high fantasy setting ("They stood solemnly, surrounding seven candles, each flame tied irrevocably to the flow of Earth's breath") and to assure people this is a game for those who want to see blood and guts ("Watch 'em scream and burn — it's great!") Sometimes the styles blend together so that you can't draw a line between them, but it still sounds odd. "These hideous abominations of the dark world move bloody fast and possess deadly sharp blades for appendages." | |

Parodied in the review of Cyber City Oedo 808, which had an episode featuring two characters speaking formally—while threatening to shove the remains of a robot and a person respectively up the other's ass. Bennett's response? A hammy, faux-English accented, handkerchief-waving faux-classy threat of threatening to shove a sphere up someone's urethra. |

The Decepticons make a break for it, as do the other bad guys, the Quintessons. |

Dexter's Laboratory had a series of back-up shorts called "The Justice Friends" where three superheroes (based on Captain America, the Hulk, and Thor) lived together as roommates. The one based on Thor was called "Val Hallen" and he spoke in an odd mixture of Ye Olde Butchered English and Totally Radical. | |

Wikipedia and related sites: From their article on the "Online Disinhibitation Effect": In psychology, the online disinhibition effect, also known in popular culture as John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory (GIFT), refers to the way people behave on the Internet with less restraint than in real-world situations. The Wikipedia article for "fuck." The Wikipedia page for Fucking, Austria is also quite hilarious because of this. Especially the quote from the mayor; "What is this big Fucking joke?" The page on 16, considered the filthiest poem in any language, is hilarious because of this - especially the section patiently deconstructing the sexual puns in the poem. Wiktionary doesn't let Wikipedia have all the fun, either, as seen in definitions of phrases like this one. In an article about Analytical Marxism: While the analytical Marxists dismissed "dialectically oriented" Marxism as "bullshit", others maintain that the distinctive character of Marxist philosophy is lost if it is understood "non-dialectically".. An administrator once created a bunch of questionable redirects involving words like "boobies" and "tits". Some of them also featured more formal terms, which led to titles like "Segmental removal of the titties", "Absences of the boobies", "Hypoplastic tits" and "Supernumerary boobies". They have since been deleted. |

Gravity Falls: Old Man McGucket has a tendency to mix complex Techno Babble with hillbilly speak. A flashback shows he talked like this even before he went crazy. | |
