Word of the Day
ishkabibble (n? adj?)
Various meanings: "don't worry," "a silly person," "nonsense" or an expression of surprise.
"How narrow a plank our daily talk walks, between normalized syntax and mad entropy; and how painfully hilarious to us are those ishkabibble comedians who mimic the fluent sound of patterns of colloquial language, while refusing any--or almost any--sense to it!"
--Frederic Will, Shamans in Turtlenecks
