To Promulgate Obfuscation:
1) To intentionally increase the chance of misunderstanding in any given communication; to reduce clarity.
2) The deliberate incorporation of under-utilized lexical offerings (such as "promulgate" and "obfuscation") in casual discourse, effectively prohibiting the apprehension of intent by most native Swahili speakers. Often used in conjunction with the "Unintelligibly Rapid Discourse" technique. Employment of grammatical constructions that are obscure, awkward, and unpleasant accompanies these approaches in many instances.
3) A good-natured way to exact revenge on friends who playfully switch into Luo or Kikuyo when you are the topic of conversation.
