LEGALESE


Meaning of LEGALESE in English

transcription, транскрипция: [ n. ]

Dense, pedantic verbiage in a language description, product specification, or interface standard; text that seems designed to obfuscate and requires a language lawyer to parse it. Though hackers are not afraid of high information density and complexity in language (indeed, they rather enjoy both), they share a deep and abiding loathing for legalese; they associate it with deception, suit s, and situations in which hackers generally get the short end of the stick.
