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] [2]

Word salad generators are sometimes written by beginning programmers for the sake of amusement.
