Abstract
Tech Speak is jargon, but it's more than just jargon. Rather than separating people, as ordinary jargon does, it unifies them.... Tech Speak replaces the jargon of Indo-European herdsmen with a rigorous and logical language.... The expressions correspond as closely as possible to the workings of things they signify: barbers are keratin management professionals, a cemetery is a biolysis center, an egg is an avian embryo nutrient cartridge, a happy face is the oral curve of the hedonic affect icon.
