Some years ago when my fiancee was working on an art degree I used
to help her in the same way. After a while one learns how to do "art
speak" and write quite elaborate pieces with absolutely no meaning.
There was a comic many years ago that specialized in double-talk.
I can't remember his name but he appeared as a guest on some of the old
variety shows. Undoubtedly on You Tube somewhere.

She asks me to edit or work and I have developed the ability to crank out acceptable liberal-art-speak by the reem. The biggest problem was breaking my habit of trying to write stuff that had meaning. Once you get past that you can churn it out.
