_Definitions: Doublespeak,
often called "double talk," is the distortion, changing or switching
of words to make an unpleasant, tricky or otherwise negative situation
not sound as awful.
Example: These practices of sifting through commercial or residential trash to find food, that has been thrown away but is still edible, goes by many names: dumpster diving, dumpstering, skipping, waste picking, practicing freeganism, tatting, gleaning, binning, scavenging, bin-diving, containering, urban foraging, etc. Beyond the names and the numbers, however, daily life continues much the same way.
Final Thoughts: The author introduces words such as "dumpster diving" and "gleaning" rather than just bluntly using words such as, "digging in the garbage to retrieve trash."
