burble

[Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky"] Like {flame}, but connotes

that the source is truly clueless and ineffectual (mere

flamers can be competent). A term of deep contempt. "There's

some guy on the phone burbling about how he got a DISK FULL

error and it's all our comm software's fault." This is

mainstream slang in some parts of England.
