WHAT'S "BAFFLEGAB”?
Tacoma's Chamber of Com
merce had a real problem 1o
solve? They found a new word,
coined by Milton A. Smith of
the U.S. Chamb r of Commerce
to replace the "gobcldegook" of
World War II.
It is d. cided that "Bafflegab”
is:
"Mull do;uence characterized
by consummate interfusion of
circumlocution or periuhasis, in
set ui ibiiiiv. ineognizabilitv and
other familiar manifestations of
adtriise expntiation commonly
utiliz 'd f< 1 promulgations imple
ment Ing prucrustoan determina
tion'-: by governmental bodies."
G ni at inition, isn't it?
