Egonics

E·gon·ics

/ēˈgäniks/

(A portmanteau of the words Egon and phonics) An autistic form of technobabble and sesquipedalian loquaciousness (using long words). Derived from Dr. Egon Spengler (a character in the Ghostbusters franchise); a genius who lacks social intelligence.

Example, from the Extreme Ghostbusters episode "Moby Ghost":

EGON: I've ascertained a definite pattern of movement for the ectoplasmic manifestation. Its attacks are neither random nor geographically based, but rather based upon escalating intensity and degree of destruction.

EDUARDO: to Kylie You speak Egonics. What's he saying?
