verbage
 /ver'b@j/, n.

    A deliberate misspelling and mispronunciation of verbiage that
    assimilates it to the word ?garbage?. Compare content-free. More
    pejorative than ?verbiage?.


2. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
verbage

    /ver'b*j/ Speech or writing with an excess of
   words or of obscure words.

   Although identical in meaning, and almost in spelling, to the
   common word verbiage, Patrick Flatley believes he was the first
   to coin the word "verbage", as a portmanteau of "verbal" and
   "garbage", in the article cited below (itself a prime example of
   verbiage).
