Your Definition

: The language of the stupid. Namely those on the lower half of the IQ curve. Common characteristics of Moronese include the following: 1. Frequent usage of 'crutch' or 'filler' words. I.e, words used when one is at a loss for words, such as "um," "ah," "so," and "you know". 2. Highly repetitive usage of 'fluff words'. Obnoxiously and excessively used at least once in almost every sentence. I.e, "you know", "like", "totally", etc. 3. Frequent usage of $10 words. I.e., long and uncommon words used in place of shorter and simpler words to the create the illusion of intelligence or sophistication. Often used out of context.

4. Dragging out stories. Taking 15 minutes to describe something that could be easily described in 15 seconds. Typically the speaker fails miserably in illustrating the point if there is one, or providing any useful information.

5. Habitually using the same words out of context. A few common Moronese examples include: a. Using the word 'irony' to describe a coincidence. b. Using the word 'literally' to describe a metaphor.

c. Sarcasm used to refer to disagreeableness.

6. Talking too fast. Unless you're an auctioneer, talking at warp speed is neither useful, nor clever, nor impressive.
