You Ever Speak Gibberish And Get Serious Replies?

Today, someone I really didn't wish to chat with persistently engaged in conversation with me. I just started replying in nonsensical strings of words, hoping to put it to an end. But that person was actually finding meaning in it and giving serious responses.

I'd say something like, "The refractions of light do suggest a medium high molecular movements of time synthesis."
The reply, "Yeah, it's a hot one today. It's supposed to be sunny tomorrow as well." The conversation went on like that for a bit until I just walked away with a wave of my hand saying, "Boustrophedonic incubations..."

  • I am fluent in 4 languages, Australian, English, Rubbish and Gibberish...and yes I talk to myself so that only adds to the confusion (no it doesn't) [yes it does] (if you say so).

  • If you flip on your back and dig your heels in, you can stop the slide, though.

    • My hairs like that first thing too. If I back comb it with mustard I find the dog tends to lie facing the elephant less often.

      Unless it's Sunday.

  • OK, I HATE to be a party pooper, and I am often accused of that here by a certain group, but are you sure you weren't having a conversation with one of those "service bots"?

    BTW yeah, a spoon doesn't look quite the same, does it?

  • Claude Whitacre proves the theory here. Look at how many people respond to his posts.
  • Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

    • Claude Whitacre, is a lot older than he looks and as such invented the word Gibberish, derived from the Latin word Gibb, as akin to Gibbon! And berish, derived from going down to the local tavern in England during the 1700, during the black death, and getting sloshed to many times!

      He also established a new state of matter called, Quantum Insanity, whereby no state in the quantum level can exist in either a gas and wave form simultaneously, just because two observers want it as such.

      Doesn't matter how hot that tea is, or how many he downed at the pub before showing up, won't happen.

      But Claude learned through experiments, and several late night office party's, that there was a way around this seemly impossible dilemma!


      Put the research into the too hard basket, and move into more promising theorys, like there will be 500 million of us left by 2100, or why is all the quality bathroom, plain soap, not available anymore, in AU, and only some stronger smelling stuff left?

      Or worse still, why is there so much crap on tv?
      I mean putting a b/w Cary Grant or Jerry Lewis, on during the day, isn't going to cost much? Far better than one English show after another about some seriously dumb couple wanting to build a shateu, in France. Or how to keep your kids on a leash for half an hour!

  • I've read posts here, that I swear are just random parts of sentences strung together.

    A test for Schizophrenia (if I remember correctly) is a series of sentences where the beginning doesn't match the end.

    For example; "The young girl walked along the road, drinking a soda and watching TV."

    That's a pretty good example of one there.


    Only the very smartest, discerning, clean shaven people.....and you.

    By the way, did you know that August 27th, is National Shave Your Goatee For ALS Day?

    • I actually did do that once several years ago. The person asked what I meant so I made up an explanation. They were impressed enough to ask more questions. I threw out some more high-sounding gibberish with just enough sense to it that they didn't seem to catch on to my game.

      The funniest part was, I used several "made up on the spot" words and they never once asked what one of those words meant.


      Yes, that silly thing amuses me every time I see it. I figured it was random silliness, but I will admit I did wonder if it was some odd British slang I'd never heard before.

      That makes too much sense. You're not fitting in well, but it's nice that you try. Keep devolving and soon enough you'll be one of us.
