jargoned
Used insider language
Jargoned means filled with or expressed in jargon—the specialized vocabulary of a particular field or group.
Technical writing often becomes jargoned when experts forget their audience: The jargoned report was incomprehensible to anyone outside the department.
The word carries a negative connotation, suggesting language that obscures rather than clarifies.
