When's the last time you buy a tea for women?

[AshleyC111]

Hi guys, looking for some recommendations on tea for women. What's your favourite flavour? What is your must-have one around the house?:)

I thought it was blethering.

I thought it was blithering, but AI tells me this

"Blithering idiot" is the more common, idiomatic phrase used to describe an utter or complete fool, often emphasizing extreme stupidity rather than just talking. While "blathering idiot" is understood to mean a fool who talks incessantly, "blithering" serves as a stronger, intensifier for complete stupidity. Both originate from words meaning to babble or speak nonsense.

• Blithering idiot: This is the standard, fixed idiom. It suggests total, complete stupidity, regardless of whether the person is currently talking. It is heavily used in British English.
• Blathering idiot: Focuses more on the action of "blathering"—speaking foolishly, nonsensically, or too much.
• Origin: Both words stem from Old Norse blathra (to speak indistinctly) and are closely related to words like "blether".

Which one to use? If you want to sound more natural and traditional, "blithering idiot" is preferred. If you are specifically emphasizing that the person is talking foolishly, "blathering idiot" is accurate, but "blithering" is the more common adjective.

The precise pronunciation is probably regional.

"Blethering" in my part of the world. Whatever the term, I rather suspect the op has blethered his/her/its last, and won't be back again. Some badly-programmed little adbot, maybe?

Team Blithering here.

Yes Im a blitherer

I think this needs a new thread, much like the recent 'jam first or cream first' thread about scones (skons).

Started a massive fight.

Skones / skons is boring though.

You can’t be living as a tea lady through baked goods.

The thread wasnt about skones vs skons, it was about whether jam first or cream first

It all kicked off big time.
