Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Never heard it before - so will now drop it in the odd sentence here when chatting to people to see their reaction


years ago at one job, we had to generate weekly reports that were included with others in a huge report... we knew they never got read. We used to go to a "Chomsky Bot" web page that generates paragraphs of syntactically correct gibberish and slipped the odd one in... it never go picked up, which kind of proved our point that it was mad to have such a large report (and weekly)

Lance, attempting to abstract bloviation seems to be a self defeating occupation. Is it something similar to ((bloviation)^0.5)?

CaptainBoing, I am chagrined to have to admit that for one who exhibits a peculiarly pedantic propensity for perambulating through a polysyllabic vocabulary I never heard of either Noam Chumsky or the somewhat eponymous Chumskybot. This definitely demands further perusal!

Well, Pavel, if you disappear down the Chomsky hole, you may never get back out, and no one will come in to get you.

Youse guys should consider yourselfs lucky because I have, until now, refrained from discussing the rules of either Cricket or Rugby in Polish, or Brooklynese for that matter.

This place is fun! Did anybody notice that I misspelled Chomsky?

What can I tell you, I'm a Polack.
