@djjd62,
I just want one word, such as gobbledegook. I just dont think it covers all three meanings here.

Adverb, are you Chinese? I ask this because I see many many questions like this from Chinese students, who think that every concept must have one word.

@Adverb,
The word "tripe" comes to mind, but I don't think that it covers all the contingencies.

@contrex,
Not necessarily one word. A phrase may also serve the purpose.
