Jargonaut

One who travels through the deepest depths of hell, in search of new jargon. Typically travels with other jargonauts, never leaves home without blank DVDs (in case "Mr. & Mrs. Smith could possibly be pirated off of someone they encounter on the way).

Has jargonaut lost his mind?
Can jargonaut see or is jargonaut blind?
Can jargonaut walk at all,
Or if jargonaut moves will he fall?
Is jargonaut alive or dead?
Has jargonaut thoughts within jargonaut's head?
We’ll just pass jargonaut there
Why should we even care?

jargonstorming

Jargonstorming is like brain-storming, except the brain has been replaced by jargon. The jargonstormer (i.e., the speaker or writer leveling the jargonstorm at listeners or readers) frequently is unaware that they are not actually saying anything due to a lack of understanding of the underlying meanings of the jargon they employ as they fail to make any point; cynically, the jargonstormer is sometimes aware of this, and is leveraging the jargonstorm strategically to preempt meaningful contributions from others, by overwhelming those unfamiliar with the jargon and alternatively disgusting those who "see" through the jargonstorm to the point that the jargonstormer is not called to task for their transgression.

The following utterance is an example of jargonstorming: In order to properly agendize what we are doing such that we can maximize the synergies to leverage this window of opportunity, we need to strike while the iron is hot and keep pushing the envelope.

I was able to understand that word, because it was just the word, 'word', but now someones jargonised and its now 'lexeme' and I can't understand it.

Bones is such a jargonnaut --- she left the entire jury behind while describing that kid's skeleton.

I don't get invited to parties anymore because whenever I do, I turn into a total jargonnaut and look like an elitist asshole.
