Paja

Paja
 

Cuando habla/escribe mete mucha paja (= mucha basura, no es importante, da muchas vueltas a un tema y no dice nada) In English?

yakety yak
gobbeldygook
mumbojumbo / mumbo jumbo
gibberish (but usually applied to something unintelligible)

talking for talking's sake
talking just to hear one's (own) voice

puede ser : to pad out? en el sentido de meter mucha paja en una redacción pare rellenar folios.

Talvez los nativos ingleses puedan confirmarlo

Thanks Rusty is that for writing too or only verbal?

Both written and verbal speech can be filled with gobbeldygook.

Padding (out) (or waffling) also works. We also say that someone's words were all/mostly fluff.

The one I use most is waffle in this context.
Most of what he said/wrote was sheer waffle.
