appearance to the point of talking about nothing else."

My dictionary has it as Middle English meaning:

1. A person who talks at great length without making much sense.
2. Foolish talk; nonsense: "politicians get away all the time with their
blatherskite.

Either meaning would apply to me.

"I think the word Squirrel was searching for was flibberdegibbet, but
his meaning was clear enough"

Oh, that word is adequate, too.

This ain't Friday so followups should be p-mailed to me or The Felder.
