jargoneer
Technical vocabulary user
A jargoneer is someone who uses jargon excessively or habitually—particularly specialized terminology that obscures rather than clarifies.
The term is mildly pejorative, suggesting the person deploys technical language to impress or confuse rather than communicate: The consultant was a classic jargoneer, turning simple ideas into impenetrable corporate-speak.
