Grumelot
Round my house one time, I was talking to a couple of friends (an actual couple) and we got onto the subject of drama classes. I had done drama GCSE, the girl, P, had done a lot of drama classes somewhere else. The guy, S, had not.

I mentioned off-hand that we had studied the art of talking in grumelot in class, and she delightedly burst out "Gah? Ohsoud lty asellfui aad hablabaga!" I happily replied "Ohdo hoaugyu shu buarrtey yekl!"

At this point S was just looking at the pair of us in astonishment, with a slightly fearful look in his eyes. This turned out to be prescient, as while we were jabbering on, P gestured to the guitar strap I was holding (home-made from two belts) and suggested "Kakurash oblada 'whippy-whippy'? *whipping hand like a lasso*"

So I dutifully chased S with the guitar strap for a little bit.

Later, after his repeated demands to know how we could understand each other, and "What the hell is grumelot?!" we told him that grumalot is basically speaking gibberish in theatre, while doing all the communication with exaggerated gestures.

Lots of fun :)

rhubarb is not recommended.
bottles and bottles of water is the preferred crowdmumble.

From your post it appears I've spoken this for years....
not intentionally though. and not in a theatre, either.
