Why this word is great
PICKWICKIANISM — [Noun] The arbitrary or meaningless use of language, often with whimsical or good-natured intent. From Pickwickian (relating to Mr. Pickwick in Dickens' 'The Pickwick Papers', characterized by good-natured but nonsensical speech) + -ism (forming nouns denoting a practice or system). Unlike "nonsense" (which broadly dismisses meaninglessness) or "equivocation" (which obscures with deliberate ambiguity), Pickwickianism is a linguistic shrug, a cheerful surrender to absurdity. It is the courtroom where "justice" means whatever the judge had for breakfast, the contract clause that solemnly declares "the moon shall be made of green cheese," or the politician’s speech so stuffed with hollow platitudes that even the words forget their own definitions—a reminder that language, at its most arbitrary, can still be a kind of warmth.
