Gobbledygook (**gob**-//uh//l-dee-g//oo//k ) [|Hear it pronounced.] Language characterized by circumlocution and jargon, usually hard to understand Original sentence: I could hardly read the book, it was filled with such gobbledygook. Sample sentence: "To the ordinary guy, all this is a bunch of gobbledygook. But out of the gobbledygook comes a very clear thing: you can't trust the government; you can't believe what they say; and you can't rely on their judgment. And the implicit infallibility of presidents, which has been an accepted thing in America, is badly hurt by this, because it shows that people do things the President wants to do even though it's wrong, and the President can be wrong." -H. R. Haldeman Memory tip: Gobbledygook sounds like a nonsense word, and that's basically what it's describing: language so needlessly complicated and confusing that it becomes utter nonsense.
