Wangery

A term for confusion, usually by multiple technical terms being thrown at someone, or by a torrent of complicated sums being forced upon someone.

Originated from the Mitchell and Webb sketch 'Numberwang' which is a spoof on nonsensical ridiculous mathematical gameshows.

"WTF?! Total wangery!"
