obfustocracy

The state of governance that arises when bureaucracy and obfuscation become the acceptable, operational norm.

Our current government, with the media's collusion, has created such an obfustocracy that neither the Oracle at Delphi, nor Nostradamus himself could discern what they really mean.

obfuscram

Verb: To obfuscate your own personal information immediately prior to leaving a social web site.

I quit Facebook when I signed up for Google+, but since Facebook won't actually delete my account, I obfuscrammed it by deleting all my friends, then I "liked" a bunch of religious pages, disconnected my mobile link, removed all my pictures, personal information and notes and things, posted a bunch of nude pictures of Kasia, changed my profile name to Kasia, then posted my password everywhere I could think of.

They deleted my account for me.

OBFF

Online best friends forever.. even though you see each other once in awhile, it's just easier to talk online.

Obfuscation by initialism

To cloud, confuse, or mislead by extensive use of initialisms (abbreviations using initial letters pronounced separately).

Jim's statement was ridiculous, all he did was practice obfuscation by initialism. "FYI, tell the CEO we will achieve incredible growth with our OEM by defining the SOP in SAP ECC and using sCRM."
