OP doesn't know what the word "jargon" means.

Or they’ve only heard jargon from outside their expertise.

I mean. Is the word “jargon” jargon for people who are into linguistics?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, nonsense would've been a better word. Or word salad, it doesn't get said enough.

I think you were looking for "gibberish."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly what I was thinking. "jargon" to be replaced by gibberish.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I had this exact same thought. I think "jargon" in the original post should be "gibberish".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not sure if that's right. To me, it seems like OP meant to say "gibberish" instead of "jargon"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I had precisely the same idea. I suppose "jargon" should have been "gibberish."
