Word of the month

Posted by: Gareth Chadwick on Monday, February 18, 2008

Our word of the month is confabulation (noun). It means familiar chat or informal talk.

Example: “I took Justine by the arm and led her onto the balcony, determined to distract her with a spot of romantic confabulation.”

Or: “You boys, cease your incessant confabulation before I inform the headmaster.”

Now I know the derivation of ‘having a confab’.
