verbiage
     
        When the context involves a software or hardware system, this
        refers to {documentation}.  This term borrows the connotations
        of mainstream "verbiage" to suggest that the documentation is
        of marginal utility and that the motives behind its production
        have little to do with the ostensible subject.
