And Schopenhauer invented the word "hegelei" to basically describe incredibly smart sounding bullshit. The word was then used by Nietzsche and others to describe the same thing. Still in use today, though not as much anymore.

I can’t find an English article but here’s the German wiki for it. Maybe readable with a translator.
