Which is the worst?

Blah-dee-blah, gibberish, or gobbledygook?

I think gobbledygook because it's the most painful. Blah-dee-blah is somewhat carefree, it's like the cute middle sister of the more serious Blah-Blah-Blah and Waa-Waa-CryMeARiver. Gibberish is slightly worse, it's like what the superstitious people of Europe called Wernicke's Aphasia before they discovered tumors effecting speech centers in the brain.

Gobbledygook sounds really painful and yucky. In the first place, no one really likes gook, but then to have it be Gobbledy is both frightening and menacing. Does it mean that the gook has already been partially Gobbled and is thus Gobbledy or does it mean that you have partially gobbled some words and now your mouth is laden with gook? Whatever it may mean, I don't like it.

Oh yeah... and hey, how about that State of the Union address?
