What's palavering?
(pə lav' ər iŋ)
Idle conversation or chatter.
Huck: "Somebody tried to get in, so I was laying for him."
Pap: "Why didn't you roust me out?"
Huck: "Well, I tried to, but I couldn't; I couldn't budge you."
Pap: "Well, all right. Don't stand there palavering all day, but out with you and see if there's a fish on the lines for breakfast. I'll be along in a minute."
From Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
