Gibberish is something you say or write that has no meaning, or that is so mixed-up you cannot follow it. We use it when we expected sense and did not get it — a page of computer code to a beginner, a note written in a panic, or someone talking so wildly that the words stop meaning anything. People also stretch it: they say a hard subject is gibberish to them, even when the other person is making good sense in their own field. It is informal, a little sharp, but very common. Though actually, calling someone’s real language gibberish can sound rude, as if their speech were empty noise.
胡言亂語；看不懂的一堆話（寫得很亂有時也說鬼畫符）
組成First attested in the mid-1500s. Origin obscure. Possibly from *gibber, a sound copying chatter, perhaps influenced by jabber, plus -ish as in the names of languages (English, Finnish, Spanish) — as if it were the name of a nonsense language. The verb gibber, first attested around 1600, is usually regarded as a back-formation from gibberish.
