Indirect talk

Definition

A deliberately convoluted, obfuscated communication style designed to confuse the listener and obscure the actual issue at hand—basically the verbal equivalent of a shell game played with words.

Example Usage

My uncle uses so much indirect talk when explaining his finances that I still don't know if he's rich or broke.
