Sorry for continuing this thread, which some people seem to object to. I like the (new) word, or maybe some variation of it -- floculant, to me, carries an implied meaning of something like extraneous -- not really required, so I could see extending the definition from "goggledygook" to something like "extraneous gobbleddygook" -- gobbleddygook not serving any purpose. (Before I get flamed, in the processes I was involved in (coalmining) -- floculant was an essential element of some of the processes to clean coal.) Perhaps "unneccesary" or "extraneous" is already implied in the word? If not, I might adopt the word "floculature" (without the "s") to mean extraneous gobbledygook. Randy Kramer
