the worthless word for the day is: deblaterate
[f. L. deblaterare, to prate of, blab out]
rare to babble, prate; hence, deblateration
"Those who deblaterate against missions have only
one thing to do, to come and see them on the spot."
- R. L. Stevenson, Brit. Weekly Apr. 6, 1893
"Those shallow and fidimplicitary coxcombs, who fill our
too credulous ears with their quisquiliary deblaterations."
- Blackwood's Edinburgh magazine, 1817

(I thought I'd mirror wwftd here for a while; as a public service, and in hopes of generating some word discussions.)
