I learned a whole new word: palaverous. I've never even seen that one before.

ETA: Well, apparently I'm not the only one who didn't know this word. From the word palaver:
palaver

1. a conference or discussion.
2. a long parley, esp. one between primitive natives and European traders, explorers, colonial officials, etc.
3. profuse and idle talk; chatter.
4. persuasive talk; flattery; cajolery.
