Language that sounds scientific and deep when people talk about feelings人們談感受時聽起來很科學、很深奧的語言， but但 is not really doing careful work其實沒有真的在做嚴謹的思考—— and而且 the word is not kind這個詞不是好話。You你 use it當有人 when someone piles up psychology-sounding phrases堆一堆聽起來很心理學的詞句 until the talk becomes a fog堆到整段話變得一團霧的時候用它。It它 is not a medical term不是醫學用語， and也 not a compliment不是稱讚。

It它 was put together around 1975大約在1975年被拼湊出來， from psycho- plus babble是把 psycho- 加上 babble， which is ordinary English for a stream of talk that does not land而 babble 是英文裡本來就有的字，指說個不停、卻沒說到重點的話。
