Definition
The act or habit of blethering; extended foolish or rambling talk; nonsense spoken at length.
Etymology
From Scottish 'blether' plus the suffix '-ation' (from Latin, meaning 'the action of'). Creates a formal-sounding noun from the Scottish dialect verb.
Kelly Says
Someone created this word to make 'blether' sound extra absurd and formal—like calling someone's rambling speech a 'bletheration'! It's the kind of word you'd use jokingly to dress up criticism in fancy language.
