1. legalese
Dense, pedantic verbiage in a language description, product
specification, or interface standard; text that seems designed to obfuscate
and requires a language lawyer to
parse it. Though hackers are not afraid of high
information density and complexity in language (indeed, they rather enjoy
both), they share a deep and abiding loathing for legalese; they associate
it with deception, suits, and situations in which
hackers generally get the short end of the stick.
