“This word has sound sense, in that it sounds a lot
like what it is: insincere talk or flattery. It's from a Welsh word denoting a
kind of porridge, and thus shares a niche in English with pablum, another
porridge word that also has a disparaging meaning pertaining to language.”
This blog celebrates language, highlights important literary events and news in Northern Colorado, and supports Second Letter Writing Salons, personalized writing workshops led by writer and educator Beth Lechleitner
