driveling
Spouting foolish words
Driveling describes speech or writing that is foolish, meaningless, or incoherent—the verbal equivalent of drool running uncontrolled from someone's mouth.
A driveling idiot produces nonsense; a driveling speech wastes everyone's time with empty blather.
The word can also describe the act itself: He kept driveling on about his conspiracy theories.
The spelling drivelling is preferred in British English.
