Gibberish

I like gibberish. I don’t know how to spell it, tho.

Gibberish, nonsense, rubbish. Gabble, twaddle, claptrap. Balderdash, drivel, baloney, tripe.

I knew there were a lot of words for nonsense, but I've never encountered some of these before. Twaddle? Gabble? Interesting sounds.

Wait a minute. Isn't tripe also a food? A fish or intestines or something some people eat?!

OMG. I just looked up Tripe. This is what it says:
Tripe (from Italian trippa) is a type of edible offal from the stomachs of various farm animals.

Offal means internal organs.

Gross.

Enough of this twaddle. Get back to work!
