burble
v. [from 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.
