babblement
Stream of nonsense
Babblement is the act or product of babbling—confused, incoherent, or excessive talk.
The word is rare and literary, more likely encountered in older texts than contemporary speech: the babblement of fools, a stream of babblement that made no sense.
It carries a dismissive tone, suggesting the talk has no substance worth attending to.
