As in utterances in novels? The heck does that mean?

A meaningless sentence is the opposite of a meaningful sentence. It's pretty binary in that sense. Gertrude Stein straddles the fence, but I'd say she makes no sense personally.

Through explanation and acceptance via viral use. I.E. catch-phrases. There's an entire subject dedicate to this, why are you here?

Say a computer says a proper english sentence (ex. with microsoft sam or something). It isn't conscious but I could understand it.

I think he means the use of a word to describe something other than its definition. So if I were to say that all the posts in this thread typed in chat-speak.
