In some circles, the bull**** is referred to as froth and there is
evidence that a lot of it is deliberate. A real estate transaction can

But it's the "legalize" rendition that's official, the "normal English" is
just a translation.

There is a reason for the "legalize" version. Every word, phrase, and nuance
has been vetted by a almost a thousand years of court decisions going back
to the Magna Carta. Somebody complains that the word "warbaggle" in the
contract is ambiguous, the lawyers for the other side can point to 78
appellate court cases just within the last 500 years that show the word is
not unclear at all.
