I truly love jargon.  It is always so unapologetically revealing of the ideology and social outlook of its speakers.  Jargon never euphemizes, though poor attempts to do so are made often (i.e."Peacekeeper Missile").   The latest addition to my jargon coffers is overburden.

 
     This word is used by people in the mining industry to describe any of that pesky earthen, terrestrial stuff that separates them from their desired product.  Thankfully, such annoyances are easily overcome by dynamite or plastic explosives.  George W. Bush, has his own word for overburden; he calls it Alaska.
