Pedospeak is a terminology affected by pedophiles when referring to their lifestyle. Its purpose is to obscure the negative effects of their actions, and achieving legitimacy amongst the general public. While some pedospeak words are simply abbreviations of terms commonly used by anyone discussing pedophilia, many of the phrases betray a clear attempt to twist the existing terminology in their favor. By changing the language typically used to denote the sexual abuse of children, they hope to portray this abuse in a more benign light.
