Word of the Day - Pablum

[debodun]

Pablum (noun) - originally a processed grain-based food for infants. Now it has come to also mean bland or insipid intellectual fare, entertainment, etc.

Most TV sit-coms are nothing more than pablum.

A baby staple of the forties, Pablum & Pabena

 

[Olivia]

Anymore pablum and l'm no longer reading word of the day. You can hate me if you want.
(That was my sentence, by the way.)

 

[Paco Dennis]

In a town where the gossip would bloom,
A writer consumed by the gloom,
Wrote pablum with flair,
But folks didn’t care,
For they craved a more savory tune!

( my little friend )

 

[Buckeye]

Pablum as baby food is before my time. Pablum on TV is forever.

For once, this section has come up with a word I'm not familiar with. 'Pablum' seems to have the same meaning as prosaic.

 

[Bretrick]

If I was to give a definition of pablum, 2001: A Space Odyssey would be my offering.
A really boring movie.
