jabberwocky

Total nonsense. A fit of rambling which resembles a civilized language but in fact is meant only to obfuscate meaning or confuse the victim, or "listener." Directly taken from the story "Alice Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carrol.

jabberwocky

adj. 1. like the Jabberwock. 2. ridiculous, impossible, or nonsensical; quixotic.

Unfortunately, Tim Burton's 2010 film "Alice in Wonderland" has perpetuated the misconception that "jabberwocky" is a noun. It is not. The poem exclusively refers to the creature as the "Jabberwock".
Christopher Lee, the actor who plays the Jabberwock in Tim Burton's film, is somewhat jabberwocky in appearance himself, if you ask me.

Jabberwocky

often confused with JabbawockeeZ, which is a dance crew, a Jabberwocky is a mythical creature which is the subject of a poem written by Lewis Carol in the 1800s. Lewis Carol also wrote Alice in Wonderland and was toasted on oppium when writing both. the poem is as follows:

"'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."
just read the poem which is title Jabberwocky and is right above this.
