Some of you are using the word dribble but I know you mean drivel. Please look these words up in the dictionary! Unless you're talking about drooling babies or old men.

Yes, both words mean to slobber, but only drivel can correctly be used to mean "childish, silly, or meaningless talk or thinking; " of which there is plenty on this board.

Yes, I agree that there is plenty on this board that can be classified as drivel, some of it is very humourous and it can and do provide some relief from tension and stress; take for example reply#6 and #7 above. Pure simple humour!!! That really made me laugh ;D ;D ;D ;D but one has to have a sense of humour.

How about a quick English lesson this mg.....another definition of the word dribble is: to move a ball by little amounts along as you are walking or running... I also looked up the word "lipth" but couldn't find it ...... ;D
