nonsensical
Defying all logic
Nonsensical means lacking sense or meaning—absurd, illogical, or unintelligible.
A nonsensical argument fails to follow logical reasoning.
Nonsensical words or sentences are gibberish: The toddler babbled nonsensical syllables.
The word often carries dismissive force: His excuses were completely nonsensical.
