I was reading an article recently on the probabilistic determination of physical constants in pocket universes within the multiverse.
Now, to a non-physicist, that very probably appears as pretentious jargon. But it's perfectly acceptable within the field of theoretical cosmology, and anyway, such subjects can't really be dumbed down such that the average man in the street can understand them.
Likewise, in my work I come across biomedical papers, the titles of which mean nothing to me. I don't understand half of the words. But to a microbiologist, for example, it's clear as crystal.
