His presentation creates complete confusion as the audience members scratch their heads with puzzled expressions. Colleagues lean toward each other trying to understand what he's saying but clearly cannot comprehend anything. Some audience members shrug their shoulders while others look completely lost and frustrated. meaningless or unintelligible talk that nobody can understand
