The weeds
/ðə/ /wiːdz/ (n.)

A lush undergrowth of spontaneously propagated indentures, subscription agreements, confidentiality agreements and the like which traditionally provide abundant nesting materials (flax, dry twigs, liability carve-ins and carve-outs, indemnity scoping arguments, governing law and jurisdiction clauses, wild celery and so on) for local legal eagles. Sometimes their chicks find these nests so comforting that many spend their entire lives feasting on the rich biodiversity they find there.
