GIBBERISH

Gibberish is a term for nonsense. The word originates with the famous 11th century Arabian alchemist, Geber, who wrote several treatises on the art of making gold. However, as he would have been put to death by the Christian church for such writings, he deliberately obfuscated the texts with mystical jargon, anagrams and other apparent nonsense, hence the term gibberish.
