witter
Talk trivial nonsense
Witter is British slang meaning to talk at length about trivial matters, often in a rambling or inconsequential way: She wittered on about her weekend plans.
The word suggests speech that's annoying in its pointlessness rather than its volume.
Usually appears with "on" or "about."
