Psychobabble (a portmanteau of psychology or psychoanalysis and babble) is a form of prose using jargon, buzzwords and highly esoteric language to give an impression of plausibility through mystification, misdirection, and obfuscation. The term implies that the speaker lacks the experience and understanding necessary for proper use of a given psychological term.
One more record that must have been broken in the recent presidential election, but will never be reported by the media, is the quantity of voters that went to the poles with nothing more than “psychobabble” in mind.
“Hope, Change, and he ain’t George Bush” elected Barak Obama. Very few voters took the time to go beyond the psychobabble and investigate the “change” that Obama was promising. If history is examined, I think it will be found that Stalin and Hitler were brought to power in much the same way….
