I ran through the alternatives in my head a while back, and decided it was a pretty lousy term, one best spoken with a twisted mouth.

That sounds like it may be related to 'lallen' (prattle, mumble, have slurred speech) - not sure though. All fits in fairly well with the abbreviated meaning though, if one assumes that it refers to spoken language;-)
