BIBBLE-BABBLE
Noun. Mid-16th century.
[Reduplication of BABBLE noun: compare tittle-tattle etc.]
Idle talk; prating.
I don't engage in bibble-babble - a spot of bavardage perhaps, maybe even idle chit-chat if I'm feeling particularly vulgar, but never bibble-babble. Oh no no no. That would never do. One must have standards, after all, and bibble-babble is definitely below the expected standards of an English gent.
I'm sure these two ladies are exchanging fashion tips. They're not bibble-babbling about you.
ReplyDeleteWhat?? Of course they are! What else could they possibly be bibble-babbling about??
DeleteWhat an interesting word. I'd never heard it before.
ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it? Rather a cute word, I think : o )
