Nonsense Words

This is a rather unusual glossary in that all of the words on the list are essentially synonymous – they are nouns meaning nonsense, gibberish, claptrap, hogwash, rubbish … you get the idea.

It probably shouldn’t be surprising that this category is so productive of weird words. After all, what better way to disparage someone’s ideas than to combine some nonsense syllables to make a descriptor for them?

You more or less always can identify their meaning from context alone – either they’re used as interjections, preceded by words like ‘such’ or ‘unadulterated’ or ‘ridiculous’. But which to choose?

You have the reduplicated ones (fiddle-faddle), the pseudo-classical (brimborion), the ones that literally mean something repulsive (spinach), and of course the wide variety that are euphemisms for bodily functions.

Excluded from this list are the wide variety of very fun terms that are simple vulgarities without any specific reference to nonsense.
