Syntax- Words used by kids with large unibrows who also happens to be extremely emotional, and think theirselves to be the modern day Shakespere.

A subcategory of linguistics, syntax is the study of sentence structure and the rules that govern it. From a linguistic point of view, the "rules of grammar" as published in textbooks are irrelevant; what's important is that syntax categorizes the way the sentences are stored in our brain.

The most fucking irritating thing that can happen on a calculator. You press all these numbers and you THINK it's the right button to press but really the calculator's been LYING to you and you've really fucked up big time, but it waits until you've pressed the = button and then it flashes with 'Syntax error' which is basically calculator talk for "FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKED IT! NOW THE REST OF THE CLASS CAN ADVANCE TO QUESTION TWENTY-THREE WHILST YOU ARE STILL TRAPPED AT TWENTY-TWO, YOU INADEQUATE CALCUATOR-USER! I HATE ALL YOU STAND FOR AND YOUR WAY OF LIFE!" etc etc.
Jill was in her Maths class and she was working out a really hard equation involving logorithms and algebra n shit on her CALCULATOR. She had put in all the numbers and just pressed the = button when BAM! SYNTAX ERROR.
Jill: Fuck!
Jack: What?
Jill: Syntax error!
Jack: Fuck! Oh well, you'll just have to redo all your work. No biggie.
Jill: No biggie my ass! I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!
Jill: Fuck!
Jack: What?
Jill: Syntax error!
Jack: Fuck! Oh well, you'll just have to redo all your work. No biggie.
Jill: No biggie my ass! I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!

The process of intentionally vitiating the arrangement of words and phrases with excessive jargon (especially Fedspeak) with the aim of misleading.
In the case of Fedspeak, it results with the media in opposing camps interpreting the inscrutable gobbledegook in vastly different ways leading to further polarization of the Joe Public. Now with Joe Public beclouded by partisan interpretation, interpreting inscrutable gobbledegook under the false pretenses of inbringing clarity to the Fedspeak's inscrutable gobbledegook.

Alan Greenspan's syntax destruction made it seemed like he answered the question, but in fact he did not. In reality he responded with inscrutable gobbledegook.
