English term or phrase: quadrophenia
Bij de politie. Een verdachte wordt ondervraagd. De verdachte is niet bijster slim en daarom gebruikt de rechercheur nodeloos moeilijke woorden. Weet iemand hoe ik het woord quadrophenia kan vertalen?

What's that?

It's a quadrophenia report. Positive traces of thallium were found in your kitchen.

agree  René Knoop: A modification of Schizofrenia and MPS, used by The Who for their Rock Opera, the main character has a quadruple personality, played by the four members of The Who. Maar daar heb je in jouw tekst niets aan :->

vorm van schizofrenie, MPS


Explanation:
Voor zover ik weet is dit een bepaalde vorm van schizofrenie, meervoudig persoonlijkheids syndroom, maar weet niet of dit in jouw context past :-)

HTH,

breedsprakigheid


Explanation:
Kun je dit misschien ook onder breeedsprakigheid rekenen? Gezien deje opmerking "De verdachte is niet bijster slim en daarom gebruikt de rechercheur nodeloos moeilijke woorden." en het feit dat quadrafonie 'via vier kanalen' betekent, vermoed ik dat de rechercheur overmatig veel uitlegt of zo. Misschien heb ik het fout.

overbluffen en verwarren


Explanation:
Als oud-politieman (vooral oud) kan ik dit wel stellen. Hoewel het een aftandse techniek kan zijn.
