Is gibberish a real word? According to Wikipedia: “Gibberish is a generic term in English for talking that sounds like speech, but carries no actual meaning.”
Raise your hand if:
- you have high hopes of being able to use an new electronic device right away without detailed instructions
- you find it necessary to print the instruction manual that came with a new device because you find it too confusing to follow from a CD or PDF file
- you find detailed instruction manuals tedious, similar to taking a difficult latin course
I answered yes to all 3 questions. Did you?
Enough said! I caved in. The photo above was taken with my trusted cell on Monday after I cut a new batch of soap. Today I hope to sit down with a printed instruction manual (not a “green” thing to do), and actually learn how to use a new camera!
Have a beautiful, stress free day! Enjoy the gibberish as it comes your way, tee hee!

I answer yes to all three too! Good luck on figuring out your new camera!

Hey, Amy! How are you today in Ohio? Snowing heavy there too? I really did not want to buy a new camera, and opted for an inexpensive (but more mega pixel) type. I thought these sorts of confusion problems were linked to middle-aged, you proved that theory wrong! Hae a blessed day!
Gibberish: it’s all good… for the Gibberishians.
If it makes you feel any better, I once purchased an instructional DVD for my camera… tried to watch it twice… fell asleep both times. I put it on automatic and run! lol
My hands are up ( well, after I am done typing) How about the DVR pamphlet( barely 2 pages and most of it in Spanish) that came with the DVR that is written in microscopic size letters and basically said NOTHING. The T.V. guy who installed it said we’d figure it out, because those are all the instructions that come with it. Maybe the DVR makers actually decided to dispense with “gibberish” and let us do what we have to do even with pages and pages of gibberish, figure it out ourselves anyway.Have fun and don’t lose your reading glasses in the milking room!
Oh man, Kathy, if I lost these glasses I would be in a world of trouble! They are no longer just readers, ha ha ha. Good luck with the DVR. I loved the TV guy’s statement, that you would figure it out because those are all the instructions that came with it. Yep, sounds like a round of gibberish to me!!!
Mary, I just bought a new cell phone on Saturday and am STILL going through the manual. Such a necessary evil. Great post! Have a good day.
I have little patience when it comes to instructions. I like to learn hands on and then go back and read (it makes more sense to me then). Funny, Debbie…good luck with the cell!
My word is “palaverin’ ” – got it from my FIL. Means the same thing – but you have to say it without the “g” on the end of the word. Otherwise, people won’t know what you’re talking about (no pun intended!). Gotta lose the ‘g’.
Except ‘palaverin’ is spoken gibberish. Sorry, forgot to add that… 😉
Okay…that was gibberish for a bit there! Ha! I am pulling your leg. How are you Vickie? As I reach for my hand held Webster’s (issued in 1981, tee hee), it says: palaver n. conference
Hand raised on ALL 3! Why can’t they just say turn it on, switch it to this and CLICK??!!
Good luck figuring that thing out, Mary!
I see hands! Ha, Becky!
I haven’t returned to the manual yet. It is going to be a weekend task.
