the worthless word for the day is: maunder

maunder \MON-duhr\, intransitive verb:

1. To talk incoherently; to speak in a rambling manner.

2. To wander aimlessly or confusedly.

Two drunken couples . . . maunder in an all-too-familiar vein about love.
-- Anatole Broyard, New York Times, April 15, 1981

It is a play with melodramatic themes, but García Lorca has put aside temptation to let it maunder, scream or otherwise let the emotions take over.
-- Richard F. Shepard, "Stage: 'Bernarda Alba' Produced in Spanish", New York Times, November 23, 1979

As in one of his earlier novels , . . . Kerr invents a credibly grim scenario for our future: most of the earth's inhabitants are infected with a deadly virus and maunder in fetid cities.
-- Charles Flowers, "Blood on the Moon (Really!)", New York Times, February 14, 1999

Maunder is perhaps a dialectal variant of meander (possibly influenced by wander).
