Word salad is a term applied to rants that completely fly off the rails of normal grammar and meaning.
The most obvious example, of course, is the Time Cube website, but many other lunatics manage to diverge into what "looks like" a human language, but on deeper exploration (called "reading") proves to be utter nonsense. Word salad can be a sign of schizophrenia, brain damage or other pathological conditions. [1]
Word salad generators are something commonly written by beginning programmers for the sake of amusement or to get around spam filters on emails when sending ads that guarantee your penis will be four feet long if you buy some pills from an unlicensed vendor.
