Gobbledygook

Gobbledygook: noun. Contrary to popular belief, this word does not describe a nonsensical language. Instead it refers to the consumption of a specific root-vegetable, which was grown by the Mesopotamians in the early history of civilisation. One of the earliest crops cultivated by the Sumerians was the 'gook', and once the cooking technique for this was perfected, it became the most popular dish in all of Mesopotamia from Ur to Nineveh. Hence the rapid consumption was of this commodity was referred to as gobbledygook.
