  1.  @Nature_Consciousness  Actual philosophers like the concept of ideas and knowledge, including their transfer, and will be more interested in discussing a particular idea - including explaining it in simple terms - than trying to boggle people with an avalanche of phrases out of context. This is naturally only a heuristic, but a case as extreme as yours makes the distinction pretty obvious. Obligatory XKCD reference: 451.

  2. If I may supply a tangent, Steve Mould made some lovely observations on semirigid chains under the influence of gravity.

  3. I think I prefer technobabble over pseudophilosophy.

  5. ​​ @awkwardukulele6077  Almost. It's the word a particularly unthinking set of religious science deniers use to attempt to bring science down to their level, after having recognized their level is not respectable. They very much want to sound anti-science, but want you to see actual science as a niche cult, in contrast to theirs which is supposed to be better because it's entrenched. There's a mirroring set that instead attempt to pretend their dogmas are science, producing pseudoscience, e.g. "Christian science". Some don't have an established dogma nor want to recognize their beliefs are a cult, and a few of those use the word too, for the same purpose but with less irony. In all cases, it's a great way to point out they'd rather be calling silly and inaccurate names than producing coherent arguments or evidence.
