'Drivel' insidiously replaced by 'dribble'.

[sidebirds]

As in (almost gagging as I steel myself to write the phrase): 'talking utter dribble'.

The gaffe appears to derive from complete ignorance of the existence of the word 'drivel', as opposed to a foul attempt to 'update' it. Possibly American. Employed by the over-fifties in Britain, in addition to the expected younger types.

“Not to mention” whilst in fact doing exactly that is another bugbear of mine.

It’s important not to reinforce stereotypes

Touché. 🫡
