Simplified Integrated Modular Phrase (SIMP)
(origins unknown - circa late 1980's)

This technical writing kit is based on the Simplified Integrated Modular Phrase (SIMP) writing system.  Using this kit, anyone who can count to 10 can write up to 40,000 discrete, well-balance, grammatically correct sentences packed with intelligent sounding terms.

To put SIMP to work, arrange the modules in A-B-C-D order.  Take any four-digit number, 8751, for example, and read Phrase 8 from Table A, Phrase 7 from Table B, etc.  The result is a SIMP sentence.  Add a few more four-digit numbers to make a SIMP paragraph. Or to make it easy you can try the patented Buzz Word or Buzz Phrase Generator at the bottom of the page.

After you have mastered the basic technique, you can realize the full potential of SIMP by arranging the modules in D-A-C-B order, or A-B-C-C order.  With these advanced configurations, you can be a master of Gobbledygook.
