A made up word that is used by people who want to sound cool when talking about the way something is written. These people frequently use other big and/or made up words to impress people around them.

Example:

A variant on the word "verbiage" (meaning verbosity) that typically refers to written, official text.

From a recipient point of view, verbage refers to the "word garbage" of form letters, websites, and other official correspondence that is by nature impersonal.

I think we need to adjust the verbage I highlighted on page two. It might present a legal liability for us."
