Spiritual-sounding language used by companies to sell product or make their brand more compelling on an emotional level. Coined specifically about WeWork’
s IPO prospectus in 2019, which was full of phrases like “elevate the world’s consciousness” and at the same
time showed problematic financials. Yogababble is intended to disguise or compensate for practical or financial weaknesses in a business or product.

piece “Yogababble” on his No Mercy / No Malice blog.
