Parent and child clipped plane? Rubbish (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

mumbo jumbo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rubbish' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'parent and child clipped plane?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'parent' could be 'mum' (mum means a mother) and 'mum' is found in the answer.
'plane?' could be 'jumbo' (I've seen this before) and 'jumbo' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mumbo jumbo that I've seen before include "obscure language" , "Gobbledegook" , "Baffling jargon" , "Confusing language" , "Mysterious speech" .)
