Gibberish is a generic term in English for talking that sounds like speech, but carries no actual meaning. This meaning has also been extended to meaningless text or gobbledygook. The common theme in gibberish statements is a lack of literal sense, which can be described as a presence of nonsense. The word may derive from the word "jabber" ("to talk nonsense"), with the "-ish" suffix to signify a language; alternatively, the term gibberish may derive from the eclectic mix of English, Spanish, Hebrew, Hindi and Arabic spoken on the British territory of Gibraltar, which is unintelligible to non-natives. The term was first seen in English in the early 16th century . A common theory is that the word comes from the name of the famous 8th-century Islamic alchemist, Jabir ibn Hayyan, whose name was Latinized as "Geber", thus the term "gibberish" arose as a reference to the incomprehensible technical jargon often used by Jabir and other alchemists who followed. A second explanation is from the British colony Gibraltar (from Arabic Gabal-Tariq, meaning Mountain of Tariq), whose residents frequently speak in Spanish and English during their conversations. Gibraltarians will often start a sentence in Spanish and switch to English halfway through, making it difficult for non-locals to follow. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Jessica<3Rose - Sat May 23 13:03:33 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I think you might just have invented it with this question, which I struggled to understand.. By the way, "gibberish" is not a language - quite the contrary! The correct definition of "Gibberish" means a series of incoherent sounds with no meaning. As soon as it becomes a language or has meaning it CANNOT be called gibberish. Answered by GrahamH - Sat May 23 13:41:41 2009 what is wrong with my HP printer? It has stopped printing what it is asked to print and prints gibberish.?
Q. When I ask my printer to print, it will instead print a single line of gibberish and spit out the sheet. Then it does the same with the next sheet and the next until it uses all the paper. If I put in more paper, it continues to do the same thing. I have purchased new ink cartridges, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer but nothing has helped.
