New Word to Learn

I came across a new word today and thought it sounded kind of ticklish. The word is "clishmaclaver," which captures the buzz of conversation like little tales, whispers, and asides like in gossip. The word has Scottish roots. So let us keep the clishmaclaver between us happy and playful.

@RasmaSandra I don’t know much of the Scottish words. But I do love the Auld Lang Syne.

@flapiz I love the sound of Scottish words particularly when Auld Lang Syne is sung on New Year's Eve

@LadyDuck when I first heard this word online it made me think that it could be a Scottish last name.

@RasmaSandra - I could have not guessed the origin of this word, I could not even guess how to pronounce it.

That's certainly one I didn't know. It sounds Scottish.

Perhaps, it comes from the Scottish word, claver", which means: "claver" refers to idle talking, friendly chatting, banter, or gossip, especially in Scottish and Northern English dialects.
