Academic Jargon

=======================================================================

By 'jargon' I mean the senses 1 & 2 of Webster:

1: confused unintelligible language

2: the technical terminology or characteristic idiom of a special activity or group

"As concerns this question, our inspired Founder instructs us that the fealty due from the Ultimate in connection with and subjection to the intermediate and the inferential, these being of necessity subordinate to the Auto-Isothermal, and limited subliminally by this contact, which is in all cases sporadic and incandescent, those that ascend to the Abode of the Blest are assimilated in thought and action by the objective influence of the truth which sets us free, otherwise they could not."

.....It was just a snow-flurry on a warm day: every flake was distinct and perfect, but they melted before you could grab enough to make a ball out of them.

.....Mark Twain in "Three Thousand Years Among the Microbes"

As another classic example, sorry, I placed what 'Scholars Avenue' wrote about SDM:

“A man of true genius apparently sees more than his share of the visible; it is almost as if some underlying pattern, some nuanced current of reality is magically revealed to him. He is either impatient to the point of appearing rude and presumptuous, trying to figure out how to tell the story as it is and frustrated by the lack of any success in it, or has made his peace with his disproportionate gifts and has now lulled himself into a laconic semi-slumber, where from he occasionally emerges to proclaim a piece of divine clairvoyance only to recede back into himself before the dust has cleared and those looking askance have had time to pick up their jaws from the ground. Both ways, it is a silence that baffles ordinary mortals who find it impossible to understand why someone who is as close to a magician as they can hope to see in reality won't twirl his wand around himself.”

Let us listen to Sir Ernest Gowers in The Complete Plain Words, ELBS 1973, pp 308-9:

The Buzz Phrase Generator

The Canadian Defence Department is credited with the invention of the following 'buzz phrase generator':

0. integrated............0. management..........0. options

1. overall..................1. organizational.........1. flexibility

2. systematized.......2. monitored.............2. capability

3. parallel..................3. reciprocal..............3. mobility

4. functional..............4. digital.....................4. programming

5. responsive............5. logistical................5. concept

6. optimal...................6. transitional..............6. time-phase

7. synchronized.........7. incremental.............7. projection

8. compatible..............8. third-generation......8. hardware

9. balanced..................9. policy......................9. contingency

The procedure is simple. You think of a three-digit number at random and take the corresponding word from each column. Thus, 601 gives you the buzz-phrase 'optimal management flexibility', 095 gives 'integrated policy concept', 352 gives 'parallel logistical capability', and so on. The authors claim that the buzz-phrase generator gives its users 'instant expertise on matters pertaining to defence'.....

Excuse me but I suspect that String Theory has its own buzz-phrase generator. If there is none, I invite knowledgeable stringers to invent one.

There have been many 'spoof' and 'con' papers on this subject.

Indeed, (Dr). D Jain of C. N. Yang Institute sent me one of his own papers as a gift and it took me almost 5 good minutes to crack it, thank you!
