babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

The Oxford words blog can be fun, and repurposing some of these old insults might come in useful, in Parliament, for one thing, though it would be hell for the interpreters:

You grobian mafflard!
Slabberdegullion isn't obscure! I heard it in an early Genesis song!
It would be great if a few more became history.
Redshoesist! No, Redshoesite! Splittist!
Do you mean Fuddle Duddle?
Wikipedia has some more from the anals of unparliamentary language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unparliamentary_language Just remember, this is babble banter; my intent was to have some fun with language, not insult any babbler.
That's a GREAT Freudian slip in your last post, lagatta! Fun with language indeed!
sherpa-finn, that was a deliberate pun. On annals, but also on "orals" (as in oral exams). And along the lines of the Royal Family's "anus horribilus". I'm glad someone noticed it though.
