Psycho babble refers to meaningless or confusing language used by someone in the field of psychology. While this term can be used to criticize those who make unsubstantiated statements or use jargon that is difficult to understand, there are several synonyms for psycho babble that can be used more specifically. For example, pseudoscience refers to theories, too often presented as fact, that lack scientific rigor and evidence. Jargon can be replaced with technical language or specialized terminology that is used in a specific field. Similarly, vague and abstract language can be replaced with more precise language that accurately conveys the intended message.
