Resembling or characterized by amphigory; nonsensical or absurd in a clever or witty way.
From 'amphigory' (meaningless verse), derived from Ancient Greek 'amphi-' (both) + 'gorein' (to speak/babble). The '-ic' suffix creates the adjective form, originally describing nonsensical poetry.
Amphigory was a Victorian literary game—writers would compose verses that sound elegant and meaningful but are actually complete gibberish, like modern-day lorem ipsum.
