jabberings
Rapid nonsensical speech
Jabberings are instances of rapid, excited, or incoherent speech.
The word suggests talk that's hard to follow—either because it's too fast, too garbled, or simply nonsense: I couldn't make sense of his jabberings.
Often dismissive, implying the speech isn't worth attending to.
