word garnish

Words that have little to no meaning, other making a sentence feel more dynamic.
A speaker using work garnish might make a sentence have a different intended meaning to someone else, who hears every word literally.

An example of word garnish is:
"I'm gonna do a little gaming today."
While the speaker intended to mean they will be gaming, someone might interpret as them doing a very light amount of gaming.
