Is the Dalai Lama a dallygabber? - porsche, 2007-03-02: 10:30:00

oops I meant a dilly dallying dallygabber - Jabberwocky, 2007-03-02: 10:34:00

A dillying dallygabber? I guess he would go on, and on, and on... Which might be good, unless it was all talk and no action. - wordmeister, 2007-03-02: 10:50:00

I think this has become a silly dilly dallying dallygabber discourse. - Stevenson0, 2007-03-02: 17:54:00

Pronunciation: snay lo kew shun

Sentence: Sheldon Sluggdon spoke very slowly, in fact his snailocution was famous. As a result, people avoided him, because it took him so long to talk about anything. People were astounded when he got his job as a lecturer at the college. If you were unlucky enough to end up in his class, your education would take much longer, but you would be able to catch up on your sleep!

Etymology: Snail (very slow-moving gastropod) & Elocution (a manner of speaking involving control of voice and gesture)
