Definition
The specialized jargon, technical vocabulary, and complex language used by biologists and in biology texts.
Etymology
From biology plus -ese suffix (like 'legalese' or 'computerese'). This playful term emerged in the 1970s to describe the sometimes impenetrable language of biological science.
Kelly Says
When biologists say 'vertical gene transfer,' they just mean a parent passes genes to offspring—but biologese makes it sound way more impressive and confuses everyone except other scientists!
