Word salad is a mixture of randomly chosen words that, while arranged in phrases that appear to give them meaning, actually carry no significance. A famous example is Noam Chomsky's phrase, "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously".
It may also refer to:
- Neophasia
- Schizophasia, a mental condition characterized by incoherent babbling (compulsive or intentional, but nonsensical)
- Logorrhea (psychology), a mental condition characterized by excessive talking (coherent or otherwise, but compulsive)
- Wernicke's aphasia
