Conspiraspeak

It's all very simple: Cui bono. Who benefits? Since 1954, Majestic 12 has made sure we're all in the hands of the Tall Greys, and god knows how many people have been abducted to planet Serpo for cross-dimension fertilization. Follow the money!

— In Simple Terms: The Metaspiracy, Volume I

The Megacorpolis is home to hundreds of conspiracy theories of varying degrees of lucidity. Everything from the old standards of secret organizations running the world (Corps love that one - takes the heat off of them) to "Sewer-Gator run the Javamats" has a home in the fertile imagination of Megacitizen's more... Excitable citizens.

Conspiraspeak is their common language, a secret (mostly because people don't really care to learn it, the sheeple) code of vague phrases, dates, and terms that all come together to explain just what the hell they're talking about. Learning Conspiraspeak is kind of by osmosis - when people start getting really into their conspiracy of choice, the words and phrases sort of worm their way into the head. For this reason, Conspiraspeak has been graded as a harmless Infohazard, at least until some nut does something really stupid.

A mix of gobbledygook, technobabble, and gibberish, Conspiraspeak is officially considered a cipher or secret code. Those who speak it just kind of talk like that, though.

Some have taken their flavor of crazy and added another set of code on top of the Conspiraspeak code until not even they know just what they're talking about... And that's spawned a whole new genre conspiracy, almost by accident.

As conspiracies develop, so too does Conspiraspeak. Old ideas are disproven (Chupacabra!) or fall out of favor; others turn out to be true (like the poor Yeti or [REDACTED BY ORDER OF THE COMPUTER - HAVE A NICE DAY]), while the inevitable corporate shenanigans give birth to a whole host of new ones.
Advances in science, the establishment of places like the Hecate Moon Base, or anything else really. If it exists, there's probably some person who thinks that it's up to some nefarious stuff.

Of course, it doesn't help that Corporations are scheming little bastards with all kinds of plots.

Infohazard

Some conspiracy theories are branded as memetic infohazard - dangerous, infectious ideas with an effect on the world. Many Infohazards are only dangerous to the individuals reading the text (that's your old-fashion forbidden what-man-was-not-meant-to-know type of knowledge thing), while others influence and warp reality.
Monday being miserable is one such Infohazard, with enough people believing it and spreading the idea that Mondays have, by default, become pretty bad.
