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.
