legalese: 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, suits, and situations in which hackers
generally get the short end of the stick.
