What does jabber mean?

"Jabber" has a few different meanings, depending on the context:

1. To speak rapidly and incoherently: This is the most common meaning. It implies talking in a fast, jumbled, and possibly unintelligible way.

Example: "The baby was jabbering away in his high chair."

2. To chatter or talk foolishly: This meaning is similar to the first, but it can also imply that the person speaking is not making sense or is talking nonsense.

Example: "Stop jabbering and listen to what I'm saying!"

3. To talk in a foreign language: This meaning is less common, but it can be used to describe someone speaking a language you don't understand.

Example: "The two friends were jabbering away in French, and I couldn't understand a word."

4. (Slang) To talk excessively: This meaning is more informal and can be used to describe someone who talks a lot, even if they don't make sense.

Example: "He's always jabbering on about something or other."

5. (Computer Science) To send or receive data in a rapid and continuous stream: This meaning is specific to computer jargon and describes the transmission of data over a network.

Example: "The server was jabbering data to the client at a high rate."

The specific meaning of "jabber" will depend on the context in which it is used.
