Hi,

If you're not sure about a word meaning, it's best to consult a dictionary that will tell you that gobbledegook means as much as "language characterized by circumlocution and jargon, usually hard to understand; i.e. 'the gobbledegook of government reports'." Mono-lingual dictionaries will get you going.

Cheers,

Ralf
