  • National Gibberish Day

    From Ross Clark@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 20 23:05:01 2024
    "This is an American day whose origins are obscure, and whose point --
    to talk nonsense to each other -- isn't entirely clear."

    Why go on? Well, we have a page to fill.

    [There follow remarks on...gibberish vs gobbledygook...doohickey
    words...scat singing...nonsense syllables in popular songs..."Lisa
    Goddard" (he may be thinking of Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can
    Dance)..."nonsense" as literary genre...idioglossia...glossolalia... abracadabra

    Any questions?
