WOD con´t - brabble *** AND WINNER ***

WOD 999 - brabble con�t from http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=27009     Today�s word apparently derives from my ancestors language.  I have never heard this word before and I just love it as well it�s true meaning.   But let�s see if you can make it even more meaningful and entertaining by doing your usual stuff. You know the go re the rules and stuff so I�m sure there will be no brabbling.

IMHO "to brabble" means to complain all the time. It is an annoying habit of commenting everything and being pessimistic each and every minute of the day. My grandpa used to brabble about weather, food, neighbours, traffic etc... It is an onomatopoeic expression... The Czech synonym is "brblal". Can you hear the similar pronounciation of the English and Czech expressions?

Brabble-- to walk around and laugh under your breath about everything and say "Right Fred!"  (like Barney Rubble)

Well, excellent definitions today - it �s sooooo hard to pick a winner with such fantabulous imaginations    but   I am pleased to announce maryse pey� as todays WOD winner.   Real meaning: Verb � �To quarrel about trifles; esp. to quarrel noisily, brawl, squabble� � Brabble basically means to argue loudly about something that doesn�t really matter, as in �Why are we still brabbling about why WOD and Caption Comp belong in the cafe?� You can also use it as a noun: �Stop that ridiculous brabble and post something useful" And just for the amusement of our male members: here�s a 2003 book to make you chuckle.     Read about the book here
