Ginger, explained

Jaime and I have known each other a very long time, and we have sort of developed our own language. We have a lot of sayings between the two of us that are rooted in funny incidents from long ago.

A couple of examples I'll explain someday:
"How NIIIICCCEE."
"Fascinating... The idea is simple."
"He's a knock-knock-knocker."

But one of the sayings we use most often is "Blah, blah, blah, Ginger." We use it when we're describing someone who's talking a lot but not saying much of anything.

Today, Jaime e-mailed me the Far Side cartoon that inspired this particular piece of our lexicon.
