Thank you for the clarification. I was only aware of the term "word salad" in reference to schizophrenia, psychoses, and dementia. When I Googled it, almost all the searches I found were on this definition. However, I did find an article that referred to this other kind of "word salad," which is referring to abuse. Here is that article, it's interesting: https://www.psychopathfree.com/artic...ord-salad.147/
It seems like the term was appropriated to discuss abusive speech because of how abusers use it against their victims. But it's important to recognize it has more than one meaning.
