Osric makes use of flowery and effusive language. Hamlet mocks him by being even more flowery and effusive. "Sir, his definement suffers no perdition in you, though I know that to divide him inventorially would dozy the arithmetic of memory, and yet but yaw in respect of his quick sail. But in the verity of extolment, I take him to be a soul of great article, and his infusion of such dearth and rareness as, to make true diction of him, his semblable in his mirror, and who else would trace him, his umbrage, nothing more." This is gobbledegook but Osric doesn't see it and agrees heartily. Hamlet then goes on, in the same style "The concernancy, sir? Why do we wrap the gentleman in our more rawer breath?" which really means "What about Laertes?", but Osric is baffled and confused and doesn't know how to answer, despite the fact that his main purpose in being there is to explain about the proposed Fencing match.
