Blatherskite is a talkative person who goes on and on about nothing important. Someone who babbles on for hours nonsensically. The word originated and was formed from two Scots words, blather (or blither) and skate. Blather meaning to talk foolishly and Skate a contemptible person.
Here are some synonyms to make you smile: babble, gabble, gibberish, balderdash, jabberwocky, prattle, baloney, malarky, bunkum, codswallop, hooey, piffle, drivel and fiddlesticks. There are more, but too many to list here!
