Actually this is an fwd from chax. I kinda liked it .
So bringing out to an broader audience ;)

Use weak verbs:

Use unfamiliar words:

Put introductory phrases at the beginning to push the subject back:

Keep the subject and the verb as far apart as possible:
Jack and Jill, to fetch a pail of water, climbed up the hill.

Put the action at the end of the sentence:

Keep modifiers as far as possible from the words they modify:

Use passive voice:

Put the doer at the end of the sentence:

Introduce false subjects:

Pile on the gobbledygook:

Turn verbs into nouns:

Use unnecessary technical jargon:

Feature inappropriate precision:

Add wordy phrases:

Multiply redundant words:
Both Jack and Jill climbed all the way up to the top of the hill's summit to fetch a pail filled to its capacity with water.

Throw in clichés indiscriminately:
Jack and Jill, who need no introduction, climbed up the hill by leaps and bounds to fetch through their good offices a pail of water by hook or by crook

String lots of nouns together to form the subject:

Put all 17 together:
