Stuart's Word Spot: Jabber


Jabber: -  verb talk indistinctly and quickly; chatter, prattle, gabble; make inarticulate sounds like a monkey or a bird, etc: noun- the act of talking gibberish.

'The curate would often jabber at his congregation, prattling on at length in a way that made his listeners wish they'd never bothered to attend his services.'

'I do wish you wouldn't jabber so, Mary; it makes it very difficult for me to concentrate on your much prettier and quieter sister.

Sigo tu blog desde hace tiempo y te admiro por el gran trabajo que haces. Estoy a punto de publicar un libro de cuentos fantásticos, aunque desde niño he sido fan de la sifi. Quiero preguntarte: cómo enganchar al lector con unas cuantas frases publicitarias y casi banales cuando lo que quieres expresar es bastante profundo y que el comprador lo entienda con una mirada.
Thans you.
