Well, here we are, Wednesday again and ready to dig up and dust off a weird, wacky or wonderful word to share with you. Now, I have been a bit naughty this week (no, that THAT kind of naughty), and nicked a word from my lovely friend David. I have to admit to not having heard of this word before, so I shall be educating myself, as well as hopefully introducing some of you to a new word too!
Blatherskite. Well, this is a babbling and blubbering kind of a word. The kind of gobshite that talks a load of gibberish, but loves the sound of their own voice! The blusterer and boaster, pontificating and prattling on despite the snores and groans from the unfortunate listeners!
This talking a load of twaddle, nattering on about nonsense, uttering unintelligibly, or even gabbling a load of gobbledegook! Sounds like me when I get nervous!
Great word! I’d not heard of it before either, but can think of a fair few who it applies to! 🙂

That’s a new one to me. I can see great use of it though…is it a noun or a verb?

Since it also means prattling on without ever coming to a conclusion I’d say your picture choice is wonderful Judy. I love the descriptions you’ve given here. The word just seems to convey a bit of contempt for the person you call a blatherskite.

Oh, Judy, you are a wordsmith deluxe. I sort of know all those words you blather about so well, but I would never think to use them. Another thing – this comment string is full of my friends. And still I have courage admit I voted for Trump. Come on, y’all! Don’t tramp on me! Funny how many people vote for him, and how few I find who admit it. They must all be working instead of blogging! Now that is supposed to be funny!:D 😀

I’m surprised this word isn’t a total surprise. I have heard it but where or when? Don’t know.
I like how it rolls around too. BlatherskiteBlatherskiteBlatherskite.

Judy E Martin
Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
