picklegibbet

An avoidable elaborate complication—a “pickle” but with an entire contraption of trouble around it usually because someone just spoke too much.

That #flibbertgibbet was hilarious until she started with the he-said, she-said, and now she made an mess of a picklegibbet. Carol told Dee Dee and she told Pam, and Pebbles overheard her talkin' to her man, Pebbles told Cookie what she thought she heard, and somehow Easy E had got the word. He told somebody I knew from uptown, and they called me up and put me down. Now the whole darn story's been changed around.
