what's it called where you speak in a way to confuse people

[tesco]

What's the word for a person who is a professional nonsense speaker.
Like not talking a load of shit but I mean where they purposely jump subject to subject so that you can't understand them.
I saw this guy do it on tv before and it was funny, can't remember the name for it now though.:ermm:

[tralalala]

Political baffle maybe?

[clocker]

Obfuscation?
Bloviation?

[JPaul]

kev

[chalice]

:glag:

[tesco]

Not those.
It's called like 'side talking' or 'back talking; or something like that (not those though).

[infamousalbo101]

I'm pretty sure there called mentalist.

[tesco]

where?:unsure:

[Detale]

Is it double talking?

[JPaul]

Equivocating or prevaricating possibly.

[tralalala]

I thought prevaricating was the art of delaying, or trying to drag a certain thing onwards, like kids prevaricating before going to bed at night, so they go and have another drink of water, go to the loo once more.. That type of stuff.

[Hairbautt]

Does "bullshit" ring a bell?

[C-mos]

Slandered is the right word ...ermm..I think so :|

You were wrong.

[JPaul]

Slandered is the right word ...ermm..I think so :|

No it isn't.

[C-mos]

ermm...dunno if there is a different word:(

[JPaul]

I can confirm, different is definitely a word.

[C-mos]

cheers to that :w00t:

[JPaul]

All hail to the ale.

[CrabGirl]

Rossco. I think you mean doublespeak. xx

[JPaul]

I can confirm the doublespeak is also a word.

[tesco]

it's not doublespeak/double talk though. :(

Prevarication is lying, pretty much.

That would've been my guess, but you might also consider bureaucratese, prolixity, logorrhea, or term such speech as merely deconstructionist.

[Skweeky]

Yeah, the answer is definitely Kev :yes:

[JPaul]

:lol:

[j2k4]

Yeah, the answer is definitely Kev :yes:


:lol:

A pox on both of you.

I have never engaged in deconstructionism in my life. :whistling

[infamousalbo101]

I think the correct term is PIMP

My uncle used to speak backslang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backslang)

He probably still does, I just haven't seen him for a while. Anyway, carry on.

Actually is it not "stream of consciousness" you are thinking about?

I actually did that in here once, confounding poor Hobbes.

Ah, good times. :whistling

Kev, how does it feel to have been on this board for nearly 6 years?

You don't want to discuss it, apparently...

Oh, no, that's not what I mean at all, Paul.

(see what I did there)

I have occasionally recapitulated my thoughts/feelings this time of year.

I still think (at this point in time, anyway) the world of everyone I've ever corresponded with in this place.

In six years, I have given up on precisely two people here, people who have left without my having chased them away.

My friends know who they are, and I think I've attained a modest degree of popularity or something like it.

I am comfortably aware of those who think me a buffoon.

My affection for this board and it habitues is unabated.

Nothing at all wrong with any of that, really. :whistling

[JPaul]

You know the big fella's right.

It's one o'clock and way past my bed-time.

[Skweeky]

I just sliced a chili and then scratched my ear. I have just found out I have a small abbrasion in my ear. It hurts like feck.

Never mind that, answer your own question; you've been here nigh unto six years yourself. :whistling

[Skweeky]

To be honest, I've been here longer than 6 years now. We had this other account before B and I created our own.

As every year, 't is a time to reflect. It is funny to think that an internet community can go for this long. It's even funnier to think that people like you and JP have known me longer than my own husband :lol:

One thing's for sure; I never ever ever could have guessed 6 years ago that I would be in the position I am in now :lol:

I remember one of our very first exchanges, wherein you stated very firmly that pregnancy and marriage were two ills which would never befall you. :whistling

[Skweeky]

:lol:

I was only a baby at that time :snooty:

Yes, and with age comes "I told you so". :whistling

[eddybaby]

[tesco]

...cabaretiers?

One cabaretiers who seems to be "in" at the moment in the UK, is Dutch Hans Van Teeuwen.. he is really great for racial (dis)integration and seems to have fled the Low Countries soon after we lost Van Gogh.

Is it double talking?

YEAH FUCKERS!!! One for the dumb guy and my bad grammar

BTW, how's your ear? :huh:

[Skweeky]

It's fine. I cut my thumb opening a tin of soup this afternoon though :cry:

[j2k4]

How horrible.

Is your klutziness a pregnancy thing.

[Skweeky]

I think so. I spill stuff down my top all the time as well :(

[Mr. Mulder]

I think so. I spill stuff down my top all the time as well :(

you should take it off and send it to me (don't wash it), it'll dry quicker that way :eyebrows:

[Alien5]

i cut the finger next to the thumb today :o how freaky?

[Snee]

Oh, I missed this one. I'm with the guy who don't know the difference between vocabulary and grammar.

The dumb guy won the thread :01:

[j2k4]

I think so. I spill stuff down my top all the time as well :(

I don't think that's a pregnancy thing.

Or, it wasn't; not 'til you became pregnant. :whistling

[Skweeky]

The hing is, before I got pregnant there was nothing for the food to spill on, it would just drop to the floor. Now there's a massive bump inbetween :lol:

[j2k4]

The bewbs weren't enough, eh? :whistling

[Skweeky]

They never were :unsure:
