Verbiage
/ˈvəːbɪɪdʒ/ (n.)
(Derogatory; usu. by salespeople)

The fundamental legal and commercial protections a legal eagle spends hours crafting and negotiating into every contract. The only thing keeping a salesperson’s ass out of jail.[1] Not to be confused with flannel (although salespeople have no inkling there is any difference).
