      Gibberish is a generic term in English for talking that sounds like speech, but carries no actual meaning. This meaning has also been extended to meaningless text or gobbledygook. The common theme in gibberish statements is a lack of literal sense, which can be described as a presence of nonsense. The word may derive from the word “jabber” (“to talk nonsense”), with the “-ish” suffix to signify a language; alternatively, the term gibberish may derive from the eclectic mix of English, Spanish, Hebrew, Hindi and Arabic spoken on the British territory of Gibraltar, which is unintelligible to non-natives.
      The term was first seen in English in the early 16th century [1]. A common theory is that the word comes from the name of the famous 8th-century Islamic alchemist, Jabir ibn Hayyan, whose name was Latinized as “Geber”, thus the term “gibberish” arose as a reference to the incomprehensible technical jargon often used by Jabir and other alchemists who followed.[2] A second explanation is from the British colony Gibraltar (from Arabic Gabal-Tariq, meaning Mountain of Tariq), whose residents frequently speak in Spanish and English during their conversations. Gibraltarians will often start a sentence in Spanish and switch to English halfway through, making it difficult for non-locals to follow.

  1. SambaOleg says:

    Yeah, because if you dont use the latin alphabet, you are not writing at all.

  2. PortlandMark says:

    This is a test. Our local public television station introduced me to this Putin song:

    • PortlandMark says:

      Hurray! It worked!

    • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

      I.. Uh. Wow.

    • Andy who was once disembodied but is now a zombie says:

      Now with the One Like Putin Dancers!

      • Andy who was once disembodied but is now a zombie says:

        I can do it too!! Woot.

      • And lo the DW signal cut into the night sky, a beam of heavenly light to summon the dark dragon god… He was summoned, saw the adorably sexy Russian chics and it was good.

        *cough*

        So… Am I the only one without any kind of political opinion on this and just here for the chics?

        • Default User says:

          They were pretty cute. I liked the brunette especially.

          • Ditto. Now I am trying to decide if I should post my Valentine’s Day rant right now so I don’t forget or take a chance at not doing it at all next week…

            • bad fairie says:

              do it now, do it now

              • *clears throat*
                Very well

                “Now we follow the pretentious idea of expressing love through items and acts when we could better express passion in days and thoughts.

                We touch our lovers and see their smiles, hoping that we are worth the effort they take to love us. We want them, need them, but do we really properly appreciate them? Is a hug enough? A ring? A diamond? A night of passion? A meal they didn’t have to prepare? The prettiest of words?

                Will it ever be enough? If you are really in love, is anything enough? Pull them close and never let go for you never know when things might end. Give a kiss, a comfort, an expression and pray, pray you fools, that it is enough. For what is love but every minute you think of them, know them, laugh with them, and crave them more than the air you breathe?

                Happy Valentines Day.”

                • mabsba now in training says:

                  Hmm. When we were broke grad students, my husband and I would go to the store on Feb. 15th and buy each other 1/2 price boxes of chocolates, then go outside and give them to each other with great delight and surprise. So where does that fall in these instructions? :)

                  PS Happy Valentine’s Day to you also, our dragon friend.

    • clueless says:

      OMG Yeah, Um, egads, I’m shocked, speechless, Um me too I guess. Wow, I knew that part of the reason his party favored him was because of their concern with alcoholism in Russia. He was selected to be a role model but I had no idea they were so heavy handed with it. Egads

      • clueless says:

        Oh and Happy Vladerday wishing you all hot chocolate, slippers, and a man like…. I may not recover from that one. I fear it may be stuck in my brain. Thanks. Is a Johnny Depp fix a good antidote for “Man like…” shock?

    • Default User says:

      Hey, that flag in the background, is that french?

  3. Ragged Claws says:

    Spot the differences between the pictures: the pen in the foreground has moved and the hand in the background is more visible. Am I missing anything?

    • creaturefeature the happy hooker says:

      Yes, you are missing something – this is a LOL site and we often get ‘shopped pics like this from time to time :)

      Smile – it’s VLADURDAY!!!! :)

      • Danbala says:

        Or it’s just pictures taken with a few seconds apart, or pictures from different cameras. But yeah, hardly the point as far as lol goes, either way. :)

    • Sqwirk says:

      What makes you think they don’t have a stealth pen?

      Are you that naive…

  4. FaileV says:

    huh, you know I never noticed this before but he holds a pen sort of funny. I guess maybe because he doesn’t seem to be writing and more pulling it along in little loopies, but still…maybe he doesn’t want ink on his hands…hmm *goes to investigate*

    • slupine says:

      Certain writing systems actually consider it proper to hold the pen slightly different. Dunno about Cyrillic, but in Chinese writing the pen is supposed to be held more vertically than most of us are used to.

  5. Jane St.Clair is very disappointed in you says:

    You can when you can kill your enemies with the pen.

  6. Vladimir says:

    Hey jackasses calling him a wanker, he is writing Cyrillic. Invented by St.Cyril, it is 33 letters and the cursive version is way different from the normal printed script. It might as well be perfect writing. Even if he was, he was probably talking to obama. OH DISS!

  7. LolPandaCat says:

    no, he is writing the beautiful language of sldkfjaofgaoipw.

  8. Oscar says:

    FACT: Russia does not use English characters

  9. On a completely unrelated note, has anyone been to the voting lately? It seems to be even worse than usual lately. I mean it’s either conservatrolls blatantly insulting Obama, many in a rather offensive manner, or EWAdams and his preachiness. I can count the number of “wins” I voted on one hand.

  10. oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

    Did you guys know? Russians use Cyrillic! It’s different from English lettering!

  11. keshet says:

    Vlad knows shorthand.

  12. Rebecca says:

    The resolution’s not great, but Cyrillic handwriting is very loopy and scroll-y.

    • Danbala says:

      It is? Thanks for the info – I googled and looked at images and thought it in general looked very much like latin handwriting.

      • Rebecca says:

        I’ve had people ask if I’m writing in Elvish when I write in Russian. My Cyrillic handwriting is much loopier than my Latin writing. ::shrug::

  13. IrishGirl says:

    It is indeed Cyrillic cursive, which is completely different from printed Cyrillic and quite ornate. I took Russian in college, aced the course, but could never even begin to understand Cyrillic cursive writing. I still can’t.

    • HelOnWheels the Gene Pool Lifeguard says:

      It’s bad enough we have to deal with your preachy lolames, now you start lecturing us in the comments??!!

      Тихо!

  14. oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

    I think that’s Cyrillic cursive.

    • Green Beard the Canuck, Pirate of the Mighty Bow River says:

      Cyrillic cursive, pretend writing; same thing. Half the time those who use Cyrillic cursive can’t tell the difference (depending on the writer)

  15. bob says:

    Putin is writing a secret code

  16. Green Beard the Canuck, Pirate of the Mighty Bow River says:

    *ponders for a moment*

    I wonder is looping, scrolling cursive is a sign of sociopathic, genocidal tendencies…

    But that would mean most of the women I know are genocidal sociopaths…

    Yeah that sounds about right.

    • mabsba the troll killer says:

      Are you suffering the effects of pregnancy hormones? :)

      • Green Beard the Canuck, Pirate of the Mighty Bow River says:

        and the 12yr old niece that lives with us… and the brooding mother-in-law… shall I continue? :-?

        • mabsba the troll killer says:

          Oh, dear. Prepubescent hormones + pregnancy hormones + probably menopausal hormones = some sort of cosmic event, I am sure. Are you hiding under the computer desk?

          • Green Beard the Canuck, Pirate of the Mighty Bow River says:

            no, to add insult to injury I’m working Super Bowl Sunday… :cry:

            • mabsba the troll killer says:

              You will have to imagine the proper expression of sympathy. I don’t think I even know who’s playing. :D
              But shouldn’t you be watching hockey, anyway?

              • Green Beard the Canuck, Pirate of the Mighty Bow River says:

                Saints vs Colts. I actually prefer CFL football to NFL, but super bowl isn’t about football for me, it’s the spectacle I enjoy. You guys throw a heck of a party.

  17. kaiswil2 says:

    Well compounded by the fact that Putin is left handed might be a big tip off … “I want a man like Putin…”

  18. Simon says:

    Duh, it’s not nonsense it’s Mordoric Black Speech.

  19. Kua says:

    It’s russian, idiots.

    • charro says:

      Oh my gods! It’s RUSSIAN?! I thought it was Cyrillic! Thank you for stepping in and proving me wrong!

      • mabsba the troll killer says:

        My freaking hieroglyphics are not posting. Not being moderated, they just won’t post! Maybe I translated wrong… *gets hieroglyphics dictionary out* Oh, dear. :oops:

    • Captain Wow WILL go Avada Kedavra on your ass says:

      No, no idiot. He saw the man readying the camera and scribbled out, “Vlad and Sarah 4-Eva.”
      *nods knowingly*

  20. bessy says:

    someone please do a deathnote referance for this pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. Andrew says:

    That looks like legit russian handwriting. How do I know? Gasp, I happen to be from the place. Evryone one has their own style of handwriting, some being more clear than others.

  22. Agent Maxwell Silverhammer once again donning the badge says:

    Эй парни! Знаете ли вы, что это написано в Кириллице!?

  23. abballa says:

    you fools! thats not gibberish, nor is it pretend writing, its the mighty language of putinese!!!

  24. Привет всем!
    Отличный форум :)
