WORD OF THE DAY WINNER!
 
Thanks to all that participated in daffynition contest. I have to choose one so I pick up this one:
 A gook is a crazy person (kook)...a gobb is a big mass of chewed bubblegum (at least 10 sticks of gum chewed at the same time)...ledy is an alternative form of leaden meaning heavy)...So, gobbledygook is is how you feel if you were crazy enough to chew a huge wad of gum that is so big that your whole mouth feels as heavy as lead...Also known as "leadmouth".
It correspond to Mary (redcamarocruiser), so
MARY now is up to you!! Congratulations! 
Aisha ;) 
EDIT: I forgot to tell u the meaning!!  Wacko
Gobbledygook:
Created from the meaningless sound that turkeys make, gobbledygook (noun) was originally an American English word. It was created in the 1940�s to mean words that are nonsense or have no meaning. It also describes when people use too many technical words and so other people can�t understand what they�e saying.
