Gobbledygook or gobbledegook is jargon or especially convoluted language that results in it being excessively hard to understand or even incomprehensible. "Officialese" or "bureaucratese" is one form of gobbledygook. There are two distinct and opposite cases. One is that incomprehensible material is actual gibberish. In the other some obscure material is either ineptly presented or is subjectively perceived to be gibberish due to a lack of preparation.
