ipsum
Designer's filler words
Ipsum is a Latin word meaning "itself," encountered almost exclusively in the placeholder text "lorem ipsum." This nonsensical passage, derived from a scrambled Cicero text, fills layouts to show how a design will look with text before actual content exists.
The designer dropped in some lorem ipsum to mock up the page.
