[by analogy with techspeak context-free] Used of a message that adds
nothing to the recipient's knowledge. Though this adjective is
sometimes applied to {flamage}, it more usually connotes derision for
communication styles that exalt form over substance or are centered
on concerns irrelevant to the subject ostensibly at hand. Perhaps
most used with reference to speeches by company presidents and other
professional manipulators. "Content-free? Uh... that's anything
printed on glossy paper." (See also {four-color glossies}.) "He gave
a talk on the implications of electronic networks for postmodernism
and the fin-de-siecle aesthetic. It was content-free."
