Love this one! I've actually been on the hunt for unique insult words that fit with the world I've built so I'll definitely putting blatherskite (it's even fun to type!) to good use. Thanks for sharing!

Love it! I'll try to use blatherskyte in my next piece--whether fiction, essayistic, or poetry. :)

(I was also raised in a family who used/uses words that might not be the most popular, and have raised my children in a similar setting. I recall my daughter telling me her piano teacher was surprised when she used the word 'thrice' lol.)
