“word salad”.....interesting and fun turn of a phrase. Mix trigger words together and toss them up in a salad of obfuscation and blather.

“word salad” is an actual clinical term.

Word salad

Word salad is a “confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases”, most often used to describe a symptom of a neurological or mental disorder. The words may or may not be grammatically correct, but are semantically confused to the point that the listener cannot extract any meaning from them.
