A phrase I have apparently hallucinated as being in Metal Gear Solid 3/Delta, yet it still fits the vibe of Metal Gear Solid. I thought it came from the first radio call with Major Zero in MGS 3/Delta, but after rewatching that part, I was wrong.

("You're a ghost, Snake, in every sense of the word." is the phrase I wanted to put in the definition box, but it has to be said in the same order to post.)
"You're a ghost in every sense of the word."

Word Salad Card

The accusation that someone's argument is a meaningless jumble of complex or academic-sounding words strung together to sound profound while deliberately conveying no coherent position. It suggests the speaker is using jargon as a smokescreen to hide a lack of substance, confuse the audience, or appear intelligent without actually making a defensible point. Playing this card is a way to dismiss verbose or theoretically dense arguments by claiming they are semantically null—linguistic garbage posing as insight.
Example: In a philosophy debate, someone says, "The ontological precarity of the subjective experience is merely a dialectical shadow of the hegemonically constructed phenomenological field." A critic might reply, "Stop dealing the word salad card. Say that in English or admit you have no actual point." This accuses the speaker of hiding behind complexity instead of communicating clearly.

Word Vomit Card

The claim that someone is spewing out a torrent of unfiltered, disorganized, and often emotionally charged text or speech without any coherent structure, fact-checking, or logical progression. Unlike the calculated obfuscation of "word salad," "word vomit" implies a loss of control—an impulsive, messy outpouring of thoughts that is exhausting to parse and futile to engage with. It's used to dismiss rants or overly long posts by framing them as an unpleasant, involuntary cognitive eruption.
Example: After a user posts twelve rapid-fire, paragraph-long comments full of typos, tangents, and raw anger, another user might say, "Clean up this word vomit card you just played and come back with a single, coherent sentence. I'm not sifting through this emotional landfill." It pathologizes the expression as a messy outburst rather than an argument.
