There's not an official term, but I can think of many unofficial ones...
...and here they are:- stupid, pointless, idiotic, childish, juvinile and wasteoftimetastic.

How would yo go about `registering` an official term??
Could I also take this opportunity to invent a new word and class it as a swear word? ****

'Official' terms aren't registered, they're simply ones that are in the dictionary, and they get in that by being popular and having a describable meaning.

Swear (or curse) words are are just words that are generally considered offensive, despit what the actual meaning implies.
