I think we should bring the word BALDERDASH back into our conversations.
@Caiotekit and frippery!

@LikeItOrLumpIt @Caiotekit speaking of Frippery: Elephant Talk lyrics by Fripp’s King Crimson

[Verse 1]
Talk, it's only talk
Arguments, agreements
Advice, answers, articulate announcements
It's only talk

[Verse 2]
Talk, it's only talk
Babble, burble, banter
Bicker, bicker, bicker, brouhaha
Balderdash, ballyhoo, it's only talk
Back talk

[Verse 3]
Talk, talk, talk, it's only talk
Comments, clichés, commentary, controversy
Chatter, chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat
Conversation, contradiction, criticism
It's only talk, cheap talk

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Talk, talk, it's only talk
Debates, discussions, these are words with a D this time
Dialogue, duologue, diatribe
Dissension, declamation, double-talk
Double-talk

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Talk, talk, it's all talk
Too much talk, small talk, talk that trash, expressions
Editorials, explanations, exclamations
Exaggerations, it's all talk
Elephant talk, elephant talk
Elephant talk

@MikeStok @Caiotekit

Wow. It's as if this songwriter knows me. 😉

@Caiotekit

Not PC enough. "More-folically-challenged-dash" may be acceptable, but no guarantees.

@Caiotekit Golly, that sure would be the bee's knees!
@Caiotekit Right after "Billingsgate."
@Caiotekit That sounds like a load of balderdash to me...
@Caiotekit so many chances to use "nincompoop" these days
