People Refer Lot Understood Eslpod Meaning Words Legal

Sometimes people use "nonsense" (silly; without meaning) "terms" (words and phrases) as a "placeholder" (something that takes the place of something else) for "meaningless" (without clear meaning) or "overly technical" (understood by only a few highly educated and experienced people) words. For example, someone might refer to the use of a lot of words from psychology as "psychobabble," or to a lot of technical "jargon" (vocabulary understood by only a small group of people within a particular industry or organization) as "technobabble." This simply means that most "lay persons" (ordinary people without specialized knowledge of a particular topic) would not be able to understand what is being said.

When people talk about legal "contracts" (formal legal agreements), they sometimes refer to "legalese." This is the text that must be repeated in many or all contracts, but is rarely read by the people signing those contracts. For example, we have to sign papers with a lot of legalese before buying a house, applying for a "loan" (borrowing money from a bank or other institution with the promise to pay it back with interest (additional money)), or even signing up for a new cell phone contract. The language is too "complex" (complicated) and "convoluted" (difficult to follow and understand) for most people to understand.

The words "gobbledygook" and "gibberish" are used to refer to things that cannot be understood even by specialists. For example, if a printer has an error and starts printing out strange characters that have no meaning, the user might refer to the "printouts" (the documents that come out of printer) as pages of gobbledygook. Or someone might listen to a young child's gibberish - sounds that cannot be understood by adults.
