And why the hyphen in the title, but none in the subject. is a little consistency too much to ask?

I believe this is the origin and correct spelling W&E
jibba jabba---Mr Tism: means 'alot of crap', fool

I get all my material from Hurst. He's the real (lack of) brains behind the operation. Still mad about the oysters, Hurst!

gab (gab) intr.v. gabbed, gab·bing, gabs To talk idly or incessantly, as about trivial matters.
n. Idle talk; chatter.
[Middle English gabben, to scoff, speak foolishly, from Old Norse gabba, to scoff.]
gab'ber n.
So, a "gabber" would be someone who speaks constantly and idly about trivial matters; "gabbing" would be talking incessantly about nothing of substance. Ex: "We're all sitting around gabbing instead of working here."
Or: "Don't hate the gabber. Hate the gab."
I've got good news and bad news...
