mumble interj.   1.

Yet    another {metasyntactic variable}, like {foo}.   5. When used as a    question ("Mumble?") means "I didn't understand you".   6. Sometimes    used in `public' contexts on-line as a placefiller for things one is    barred from giving details about.   For example, a poster with    pre-released hardware in his machine might say "Yup, my machine now    has an extra 16M of memory, thanks to the card I'm testing for    Mumbleco." 7. A conversational wild card used to designate something    one doesn't want to bother spelling out, but which can be {glark}ed    from context.   Compare {blurgle}.   8. [XEROX PARC] A colloquialism    used to suggest that further discussion would be fruitless.
