Word of the Day: Argle-bargle

[Ruthanne]

Argle-bargle
Blah, blah, blah, some people like to drone on for as long as others are willing to listen and there are those particular kinds of mind-numbing conversations that never seem to end. Meaningless arguments and worthless chatter—whether done by talking or writing—is called argle-bargle.

Example: "This is just a bunch of pointless argle-bargle."

When I was just a kid my mother's father would go on and on with such boring argle-bargle and it was excruciating to have to listen to it.

I am a victim of argle-bargle when my neighbor phones me. It is difficult to break into the conversation and give a reason I have to hang up.
