I want to speak Gibber. I find that I sometimes only speak Gibberish.
Is there a way to be more unintelligible?

Re: Gibber
I speak English (and some Spanish), and I aspire to master Engl (and some Span). But I fear that these approximations are as close as I'll ever come.

Re: Gibber
I think that if you jabber, your gibber will improve.

Re: Gibber
That, sir, is a Gibber. Specifically a Gibber Italicus, a highly controversial breed of canary developed in Italy in the 1950s. The pic shows a standard example with the bizarre conformation typical of the breed - yes, that's how they look: radically bent neck and stiff naked legs and all - and I'd say the reasons for controversy are quite plain to see and IMO well-founded. It's sometimes amazing what you can find when you look on Google Images for a word that you would think has no corporeal form. It's because of this search that I learned that "gibber" is also Latin for "hunchback".MTGuru wrote:And by the way, Nano ... WTH?

- Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Hence the famous novel, The Gibbon of Notre Dame. About a medieval experiment with temple monkeys that turned out very, very badly.benhall.1 wrote:... whence we also get "gibbous," an adjective applied to the moon when it's not quite full, or "hunchbacked".
