Anti-semanticism

"Anti-semanticism" is a humorous and satirical phrase that combines the prefix "anti-" with "semanticism" to create a play on words. It does not refer to a real concept or philosophy, but instead can be interpreted as a rejection of the importance or relevance of meaning in language or a deliberate use of language in a way that undermines or distorts its meaning. The credit for creating this phrase goes to Patrick Ryan.

It is important to note that this term is not intended to promote or perpetuate racism or discrimination against any group of people, and its use should be understood in a lighthearted and humorous context.
"John's essay was filled with so much jargon and convoluted language that it bordered on anti-semanticism - I couldn't even tell what he was trying to say!"

Semantigans 

A conjunction of Semantics and Shenanigans, used to describe the general trend of arguments that arise on message boards of all kinds. Semantics, which is arguing about the way someone said something and Shenanigans which is the lunacy that follows.
person 1: Wow, you say your inspired by Mr. Rogers and Jason Vorhees
person 2: Yeah person 1, the people I chose as people who inspire me, yup that's a JOKE. If you took it as serious you need help.
person 1: Semantigans

smartical 

Ok, first of all, all of these definitions are wrong. The REAL definition is: "smart i call myself" squished into 9 letters.

I know this because I made up the word when i was in 7th grade for a school project. We had to fit a word or words into 8 letters (we were making lisence plates). Then I made "smrtical" which is "smartical".

Sorry, I just HAD to clear it up. :D
You can still use it the way the other people where putting it:

Person 1: ur so dumb.
Person 2: smartical bitch.
