Eschew obfuscation is a common humorous saying of English teachers and professors when lecturing about proper writing techniques. The two words literally mean "avoid unclarity" or "shun confusion". The two words are indeed real, but the irony comes from their uncommon (non-vulgar) usage in the English language, as well as the fact that their very usage causes confusion and unclarity. This phrase, therefore, is a paradox.
Antiestablishmentarialism
the belief which opposes removing the tie between church and state.
