This is another one that sounds better out loud than it looks written down.

Looks fine to me. Gobbledygook is more fun to pronounce than it is to read, as well, but what a useful word.

It reminds me of the little presents our cats leave when they're shedding - usually found by unsuspecting bare feet in the middle of the night
