witter

British slang for talking nonsense at length. Often used with the word 'on' (as in 'wittering on') to suggest that the speaker has no particular point to make, they are just talking on and on, as if the talk has developed a momentum of its own that prevents it from ending. Probably used more in the North than the South, and used more often with regard to women than men. However, when used to to describe a man, there is a strong suggestion of weakness, or unmanliness.

Why were you on the phone for so long?

It was my mum, she was wittering on about how I never call her; and she wonders why....

Writer's Block

A usually temporary psychological inability to begin or continue work on a piece of writing

Mark has writer's block, so he can't write the script to a movie that had a great start. His writer's block was caused by his annoying nephew who stifled creativity. He claims if his nephew was around J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter would never exist.

Writer Factor

The difference of effect between a writer who has written a peice of literature and a person reading it. The writer may believe their creation is much longer, more emotional, or interesting while none of these things have transferred into the acuall writing. Writers who forget to apply "writer factor" to their work usually end up making action too blunt, descriptions too short or include things that just dont make sense.

Writer factor, time wise, is aproximetly half an hour of writing to twenty seconds of reading, 45 minutes research to one interesting fact, and two days depression to a single tear.

Writers factor includes any type of writing, including scripts, poetry and even band names.

"James hit lucy. She flew back into a bush. Later her rescuer named Larry found her and they got married."

writer: Im thinking of showing this to a publisher, what do you think? Isn't it romantic?
reader: No. Its three sentences long.
writer: It seemed longer in my head. Mabe they can make a movie about it.
reader: you're forgetting writer factor, moron.

Band: we call ourselves pedobread: it has a deeply spiritual meaning to us
Fans: Pedo-Bread? WTF?
