Slang Dictionary
verbage
/ver'b*j/ n. A deliberate misspelling and mispronunciation of verbiage that assimilates it to the word `garbage'. Compare content-free. More pejorative than `verbiage'.It's fine with me if you use "verbage" if you consciously mean this as there's nothing wrong with coining a good word, but don't let's adulterate the language unwittingly.
