Definition
The characteristic language, jargon, or style of speaking used by federal government officials and bureaucrats.
Etymology
American English creation from federal plus -ese (a suffix meaning 'the language or style of'), similar to bureaucratese or officialese.
Kelly Says
Federalese is that baffling language where a simple idea gets wrapped in so many clauses and acronyms that only government workers can understand it—it's basically how bureaucracies hide simplicity under complexity.
