Speech, need help!

[fettoken]

So im about to do this speech in class for 10 minutes minimum about "internet slang". Speeches are my bane literally Anyone got any advice how to lay it out or to prepare? Its due to upcoming tuesday. Having to think about this messes up my otherwise good mood bigtime

 

[Ezteq]

maybe do a power point presentation with words like w00t pwnd l337 etc and explain them as they come up make it funny so that people dont think we're all total losers though rofl

 

[Everz]

w00t bitches joo fags gt pwned lyk sh1t on toast. I rickroll'd my homedawg with l33tness of ownage and the god pwnage. Mon schlong aches and i dont have a gf

 

[Laddey]

What ez said is a good idea.

Also, try using a big projector screen and type the words out. like this for example.

rofl harris - roll on the floor laughing

etc...

I tried, failed.

 

[Ezteq]

oooh oooh and end it by rikrolling them!!!!

 

[Huntingtons]

yep. there must be rick rolling included

Wont give any specifics on what should be in your presentation/speech infront of your class, as that is essentially the groundwork that you are supposed to do!
But try and find the reason and origin of the various internet slang and l33t-speak that you come up with.
Remember that it all started with the most commonly used, the smilies.

Remember to sectionize what you are going to speak about, don't talk about 1 thing, then another and then go back to the first thing, unless you have a very good reason (i.e. interconnecting them would be a good reason)

When doing a presentation, remember to only use MAX 3 words pr. line in a power point presentation and you should then be able to speak atleast 30 words about it. Your oral output should always be atleast 10x the output of your presentation.
Having more than 3 words pr. line/subject on the power point drives focus off you and makes people forget the points you make quickly and makes them loose attention and interest, hurting your chance of getting a good grade for your work.

Make each line in the presentation come in SEPERATELY!
Do not put in 5 lines, then speak 30 sec about line 1, then 30 sec about line 2, etc. as the audience will immidiately start trying to read all lines, which means they wont pay attention in the start and when they finally try to pay attention, you will be in the middle of the 2nd line and they will get confused!

Grey out the lines above the one you are currently speaking about! This makes it clear that you are PAST that point and people stop paying attention to it and pay attention to what you want them to pay attention to, i.e. what you are say and the line you reached.

Practice your presentation atleast 2 times when you are done and don't need to do any edits.
1st practice, allow yourself to face the presentation and read each line, and then speak the words out loudly.
2nd practice, face away and click the mouse for each line, only occationally should you have to face the presentation to confirm where you are and have to say. If you look over your shoulder more than 2 times pr. minut, you will need to practice more.

When you know your presentation and is presenting it infront of your class, remember to look up at them.
Don't stare at your teacher, even if she/he is going to be the one giving you a grade, it comes off much better and seem more correct if you show the self-confidence to be looking at your classmates.
Don't look at any specific people in your class, but let your eyes roll over the classroom and make sure you got the attention of everybody.
Having the presenter look directly at you for a few seconds spark the attention given greatly and will definitely work in your advantage. By the same standards, while you should mostly be looking at your classmates, give your teacher an occationally glance to affirm attention being payed to you.

Dictate the order when you are presenting. If anyone tries to interrupt, firmly tell them to ask questions once you are done with the entire presentation.
Remember to ask for questions once you are done presenting, don't make yourself look as if you don't control everything by letting someone remind you to answer questions.

If you have to make a 10 minut presentation, AIM for a 8 min presentation when you are alone!
Once you are infront of people, the need to speak more slowly to get your point across will increase the time of the presentation by 20-30% if done appropriatelty and you will hit very close to the given time for the presentation


Hope this helps! good luck

the funniest and most retarded internet slang word i've ever seen has got to be "burrr", ive seen loads of girls use it on facebook walls etc, its used instead of but believe it or not, how bizarre, not like its shorter or even sounds similar.

 

[fettoken]

This has certainly helped me, tho we cannot use any powerpoint presentation unfortunately, otherwise i´d rickroll their asses

edit: Well, we have a projector to work with but i can´t really be arsed with that, so i´ll probably use the whiteboard. And if it doesn´t go as intended, i´ll just bring a stungun to know myself out xDD

 

[Binky the Bomb]

Ok, this is going to sound odd. Best way you can get over this, is whap one off the night before whilst thinking of that room full of people as vividly as possible. If you can manage that, then you can get through the speech untroubled. Course, if you can't get it up, then you've got trouble.

 

[Nate]

agreed, whack one off infront of them whilst calling them n00bs and how big your e-peen is go on to explain how your rl-peen is not the same as your e-peen. you could use the projector with your rl-peen really close to it, to show on the wall how big your e-peen is!!!!! I should do more speeches tbh

... um, may not be the best idea..and here's why!

i can see the headlines now tbh, "Disasterous deaths as determined dong decimates dedicated class whilst person in possesion of perpetrating penis presented presentation on internet slang...violent video games to blame!!"

[Nate]

Then he could go on to explain how the Internetz would refer to that as Power Pwnz0rlolod or Ddaddddcwpipoppppoisvvgtb

If you have chronic hands-shaking disease, which I do, make sure you have something to place your notes on or do not hold notes in your hands.

People divert their attention from you to the shaking hands otherwise!

Hey, if he get a hard-on in front of those people, then making the speach wil be the least of his problems! Is guaranteed to work. He'll feel relaxed, and wont be as tense. Just wear 3 layers of underwear to keep the beast in order, and remember to zip up your fly before hand, you'll be fine.

Course, if i'd have posted this BEFORE you went to bed, it may be of some use.

And now i've made the suggestion about trying to get a hard-on in front of them anyway, theres a decent chance it'll happen anyway... and, if you have a real sadistic mind, your imagination will be throwing sexual imagery at you all the way through it.

If its especially sadistic, it'll start doing it 5 mins before hand.

Well, if were talking about my imagination its sure to go wrong somehow. It can´t come up with decent names in DaoC. But what it can is to spam my brain with rapid image sequences to f*ck up my presentation, thats for sure!

Glad I could help

Now, you need quickly to come up with a way to disable my imagination for about 10 min to 10 hours when im about to do my speech xD

Start it off with something that uses the speech you will be discussing

"Hi n00bs, <insert something here>"

It went suprisingly well, without having to start humping on somethin Thought i was feeling crap (stomach ache etc) due to the presentation, but i probably ate something bad

Before i was going to start the speech my heart was racing like crazy, so i excused me and got a glas of water, did some breathing and it went well. Interfaced with the audience worked wonders also, letting them point things out etc.

 

[Nate]

Good for you fet

The important thing is did you get your e-peen out though?

Afraid not. And i was way too nervous to rickroll them by singing "Never Gonna Give You Up". Tho i explained how it worked, but noone had heard of it They were suprisingly clueless when it came to the "internet slang" topic.

just a few and those totally over 24 million views. 6 billion people on the earth, so thats 0.4% of the world population rick-rolled! Hmmm, guess it ain't that common? But taking aside all those too poor to own a computer, those who can't access youtube due to censorship, those who got computer, but don't have internet, and it should be like 24 million views over 2 billion (just reasoning) so then it is 1.2% being rickrolled! Should be way higher % who heard about it!
