neepery
 n.Note: Related to the entry for neep-neep in the Jargon File. «Oops. “Neepery” is techno-slang. It refers to the use of excessive jargon. (The jargon itself is “neep” or sometimes referred to as “neep-neep”. And yes, this means my first use of the word “neepery” was an example of neepery.)» —“Atari Stock Holders Talk!” by Travis AtariArchives.org Mar. 9, 1994. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
