content-free

adj. [by analogy with techspeak context-free ] Used of a message that adds
nothing to the recipient's knowledge. Though this adjective is sometimes
applied to flamage , it more usually connotes derision for communication
styles that exalt form over substance or are centered on concerns irrelevant
to the subject ostensibly at hand. Perhaps most used with reference to
speeches by company presidents and other professional manipulators.
Content-free? Uh... that's anything printed on glossy paper. (See also
four-color glossies. ) He gave a talk on the implications of electronic
networks for postmodernism and the fin-de-siecle aesthetic. It was
content-free.
