That may have been deliberate, in conversation I have often been known to refer to Eastenders and other programmes of a similar level (Downton Abbey, Coronation Street etc) as dribble.

Hmm, you may but I'm far from convinced that's what irish boy is doing.

Yes. We keep animals as pets even now, arthropomorphise them, photograph them, love them, feed them and er....keep them in servitude.

Really.

whoami said:

No, they a bit poor.

Funnily enough I've got anthrpomorphise wrong before, I guess some people never learn eh?

Punctuation, capital letters, missing spaces, of/have confusion. It looks pretty much like a full house where errors are concerned.

No matter what people say on this thread I still enjoyed It 100 times more than the usual eastender style dribble normally on the box.

Is it not drivel? A TV program cannot be dribble.
As you were.

I take it you've never watched Eastenders. I saw a few episodes shortly after it first started (due to a defunct relationship that ended some 25 years ago) and I understand that it is now even worse.

Yes it was drivel then and it's drivel now.

Not dribble.

[singlecoil]

Yes, dribble. I've used it for years as a term of contempt for such programmes. Yes, I know it's not the 'proper' word.

[Eric Mc]

It's not a spelling mistake. It's not even a grammar mistake. It's just not proper English. And one that totally mystifies me as to why people don't really seem to understand this most basic use of the proper word.

If a TV programme causes you to enter a state of semi-consciousness, in which you find yourself staring blankly into the middle distance, while drooling pathetically down the front of your shirt, then it should definitely be described as "Dribble"...

...and yes, I too know that the 'correct' term (if, indeed, such a thing exists) is "Drivel"

Given that the archaic definition of 'drivel' is...

to let saliva or mucus flow from the mouth or nose.
"the nurse leaves you to drivel, and never wipes your nose"

..then surely the two words are entirely interchangeable, within this context?

Cheers for info furry, so there still may be the very slightest chance that a lovely person will look at the ticket and reply with "get a legal plate fitted with a signed ticket from mot station and we will waiver the £100 "

No, that's absolute bks and you know it. Dribble is labelled 'archaic', not 'entirely changeable'- in any context. There's no ambiguity there at all. I'm prepared to give SC the benefit of the doubt if language like that has fallen to regional dialect but suggesting the terms are entirely changeable is, as suggested above, testicles.

So humour me, and explain the difference then...

Dribble: definition = To let saliva drip from the mouth; drool

Drivel: definition = To let saliva or mucus flow from the mouth or nose.
