Le jargon administratif ou «gobbledygook». [...] Ce dialecte spécial, réservé par les agents de l'État ou les politiciens aux administrés, a été ainsi baptisé par un certain Maury Maverick, représentant démocrate du Texas, qui trouvait que le langage de l'Administration ressemblait au glouglou du dindon (glouglou se dit en anglais «gobble».) D'après la définition qu'en donne le dictionnaire Deak de termes d'argot, le «gobbledygook» est le style ou la langue ampoulés, pompeux et prétentieux qu'on trouve souvent dans les textes officiels à usage interne. 4, record 2, French, - jargon%20administratif
