[Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky"] Like flame, but connotesthat the source is truly clueless and ineffectual (mereflamers can be competent). A term of deep contempt. "There'ssome guy on the phone burbling about how he got a DISK FULLerror and it's all our comm software's fault." This ismainstream slang in some parts of England.
