complicatese

Explanation:
Credo si tratti della nota arte della "complicazione affari semplici"

1) http://www.ricou.org/langue_bois.html
"Le xyloglotte (en grec : langue de bois) est une langue nouvelle reposant sur le concept incontournable du complexificationnage. L'idée maîtresse s'exprime et se comprend aisément : pourquoi, comme le disait autrefois mon prof de math, se compliquer la vie à faire simple alors qu'il est si simple de faire compliqué ? Alors s'il existe des mots et des expressions compréhensibles par le commun des mortels, quoi de plus distrayant que de les rendre abscons ? Vous en avez rêvé, je l'ai fait."
