Jargonista

A person who is able to use a variety of technical terms to ultimately say nothing meaningful, but somehow still manages to satisfactorily answer questions from senior management, all while sipping a Venti, sugar-free, non-fat, vanilla soy, double shot, decaf, no foam, extra hot, Peppermint White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha with light whip, upside-down, 1 pump of peppermint, 1 and 3/8 pumps vanilla, heavy whip-cream, 3 ice cubes, 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg sprinkled on top, with green sprinkles, light cinnamon dusted on, stirred, with no lid, double cupped, and a straw

Gary is the ultimate jargonista. He was able to deflect each of Claire's questions with a bunch of mis-used and non-sensical technical terms without spilling his latest barista creation.

jargoning

To use jargon specific to an area of expertise you and at least one of the people you're talking to understands that is unfamiliar to other people around you; thus excluding them from your conversation.

Civil engineering student 1: "Hey, check out that spiral reinforced column over there, I wonder what the dead load is on that member?"

Civil engineering student 2: "About as much as I load on your mom every night."

Dumbass arstie: "Despite the jargoning, I understand you just burned your friend pretty good, huh?"

jargonise

verb - to jargonise, the act of taking a simple easily understood word and changing it to a different word which is harder to understand by most as it is from a semantic field understood only by those with intense knowledge of that particular field. Can also be the act of taking a simple easily understood text, and carrying through a similar action as above except to the whole text. past tense, jargonised

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.

That Jargonium sure fucked up Jake Larson.
