Gobbledygook: incomprehensible or pompous jargon of specialists.
Word origin
First used in a memo dated March 30, 1944, banning "gobbledygook language".
The author said he made up the word in imitation of turkey noise.
He went on to mock-threaten: "Anyone using the words activation or implementation will be shot".
