Pronunciation: kant ver say shun

Sentence: With Trish, it was hour after hour of garrulous cantversation. Pierre could never get a word in and Trish barely took a deep breath. Good looking and sexy she was, yes, but vapid and self-absorbed, he wondered why he stayed with her. It was not as if she said anything worthwhile. It was always the trivial verbal diarrhea and intellectual constipation that annoyed Pierre the most. The sad part was that she paid him so little attention that she did not even realize he could not speak English! Quel dommage!

Etymology: Cant (insincere talk;contraction for can not...unable to) & Conversation ( the use of speech for informal exchange of views or ideas or information etc;a dialogue between 2 parties) Quel dommage is French for what a pity!
