^Wish there were a good backstory to it. But in this case, it just popped into my head late one evening while I was working on the draft of a piece of steampunk fiction. My character Victoria Deering dismissed a scientific rival's 'proofs' as being little more than "Madness and winks."
"Here then are my proofs. What say you to them, Madam?"
"Madness and winks, Sir!"
AFAIK it's mine. :)
(Edit: I stopped being lazy and corrected the above dialog after I looked it up in my draft. :-[ )

@40hz: nice! photoshop? :)

That sounds like a good back story 40hz!
I very much like the look of the other combo though
Professional Personal Nonsense

I think "Madness and winks" would work better on it's own (it would overpower the other two IMO)
An variation on first would be
Professional Personal Nonsensical

Paint.Net actually. Just a quick & dirty character ref image for when I'm writing.
(JPG > Sharpen > Sepia > Ink Drawing > Glow. Manually adjust color curves, resize, and save as JPG.) :Thmbsup:
I try to create images and write a curriculum vitae plus fair bit of backstory for each of my major and semi-major characters. Helps keep me focused.
It also helps prevent any characters from staging a 'mutiny' around page 125!
;D

40, I like the term and explanation. I'd use it, but I think I'm going to stick with my one word category name, even though I like yours better. Nonsense give off a similar vibe anyway. More crude...but similar.
I just saw tomos' answer. Yes, you said it better.
