One of my earliest memories was of seeing horse-drawn buggies with little Amish children peering out at me from the back, their legs dangling as they jabbered in Pennsylvania Dutch, sometimes pointing and giggling at my family following slowly behind them in our car.

Utah may well be the most cosmopolitan state in America. Vast numbers of young Mormons - increasingly women as well as men - spend a couple of years abroad as missionaries and return jabbering in Thai or Portuguese and bearing a wealth of international experience.

American Journalist

Richard Elman

I jabbered too much in class about all the Russian writers whom I admired for being, among other things, uncouth and somewhat humorously melodramatic, such as Gogol and Dostoyevsky, just as it was in my own household when I was growing up.

As a young girl, I was too intent on getting to London and drama school and out of east Yorkshire to think about winning Oscars. I did win a Bafta once, and was so unprepared for it I jabbered on for a minute - a minute too long.

I definitely I prefer to sing in the car. I don't sing in the shower, maybe its because that's the one time I don't need to talk to anyone so I should just shut up, otherwise I'm just, you know, jibber jabber.

American Musician

I sent out a tweet, 'Dancing with the Stars' should stop the jibber jabber. They shouldn't make the departure of a dancer so tear jerky because nobody's going to war.

Jabbering usually implies speaking very fast, often too fast for others to follow.

Speedy Speech

Used mostly in casual conversations, 'jabber' is not typical for formal situations.

Informal Context

'Jabber' also suggests that what is being said is hard to understand because of how quickly it's spoken.

Lack of Clarity

When someone jabs in noun form, they may not be taken seriously due to the messy speech pattern.

Perception of Speaker

Continuous jabber can be seen as annoying or disrespectful, so be cautious during conversations.

Possible Annoyance

Children often jabber before they can form coherent sentences, associating the word with childlike talk.

Childish Expression

40 Years Later, A Family...

 They've made me a proud "I-don't-know-it-all." Now, when the mystic part of me jabbers on and on like this, the warrior rolls her eyes. She's concerned about what's happening in this world right now.
