gibberish is my other gossip language, and by far it's my favorite of the two. ob is OK, and it's easy enough to use, but it is clunky and doesn't flow well in speech when you have a lot to say. gibberish takes a little longer to learn, but once you've got the pattern, the words flow like a river. and, as with any foreign language, a few glasses of wine help things along tremendously.
my version (using the insertion 'teg' or 'dig') isn't the only one; here's a multitude of ways to garble your words. whatever version you choose, just make sure you teach it to someone else so you don't have to mutter to yourself :)

I had totally forgotten about this! There were some very fluent gibberish girls in my 6th grade class. It took me a while to figure it out!

we used to speak it too- back in the day, thought we were sooo cool, best part was we thought my mother didn't get, but she did ;)
