2. a set of confused and meaningless statements
From Vocabulary.com: “Rigamarole is a messy, complicated process that takes longer than it should. The word rigamarole, which is also spelled rigmarole, is a great way to describe bureaucratic procedures. You can also use it to mean “a long, rambling story.”
Example:
“Until you’ve been through it, the process of buying a home can seem like a formidable rigamarole. That’s why I am here to help walk you through the experience.”
