Rhetoric On The Rise

A new language has been issued by the Department of Internal Affairs in order to deal with miscreants, and ne'er-do-wells in relationship to fundamentally dead issues like water, power, and housing. "Rhetoric," as it has been termed, is essentially the use of plain English to describe inane occurances, whose etymology can be traced back to the first caveman exclaiming, "Say WHAT?!" This new and improved jargon has replaced outright lying and disinformation, as once used by obsolete puppet regimes, tyrannies, and democracies.
When asked about this, several state representatives chimed in, claming rhetoric was for people who couldn't find a better way to get into someone's pants, and "the best way to do that is to produce a crisp Ben Franklin from your wallet."
