A quick review of Brave New World would answer your question. It's a meaningless phrase, flypaper for the ignorant.

Ever been in a group where someone will throw out a totally meaningless phrase and most of the others will nod or get the deer-in-the-headlights look?
Well, there is usually one person in the group who will say "Huh? that makes no sense!" or" "I don't understand that."
Most normal people are so afraid to appear ignorant that they play into the demagogues hands. But to rely on this technique is the surest sign of intellectual bankrupcy.
