פּלאַפּלען
plaplen
to babble, to chatter endlessly · verb
This is not ordinary talking. Plaplen is what happens when someone's mouth runs three kilometers ahead of their brain and has no intention of stopping.
ער האָט געפּלאַפּלט אַזוי לאַנג, אַז אַלע זײַנען אַנטשלאָפֿן געוואָרן.
“He babbled on so long that everyone fell asleep.”
Think of the one person at every family gathering who held the floor for forty minutes without actually saying anything.
