Galimatías

Del fr. galimatias 'discurso o escrito embrollado', y este del gr. κατὰ Ματθαῖον katà Matthaîon 'según Mateo', por la manera en que este evangelista describe la genealogía que figura al comienzo de su evangelio.

1. m. coloq. Lenguaje oscuro por la impropiedad de la frase o por la confusión de las ideas.

2. m. coloq. Confusión, desorden, lío.

 

----

Un galimatías es un término usado para describir un lenguaje complicado y casi sin sentido, embrollado, lenguaje oscuro por la impropiedad de la frase o por la confusión de las ideas. Puede tener texto cifrado. Se usa cuando alguien trata de expresarse de una forma complicada. Su aplicación no tiene que ver con connotaciones de desconocimiento del lenguaje o entonación extranjera. Se refiere a las personas que inherentemente no hablan de forma clara.
