jargon


- noun
- xerga

EN She could not follow the ugly academic jargon, that rattled itself off so glibly, but said to herself that she saw now why going to the circus had knocked him off his perch, poor little man, and why he came out, instantly, with all that about his father and mother and brothers and sisters, and she would see to it that they didn't laugh at him any more; she would tell Prue about it.
GL Non podía segui-la arrepiante xerga académica na que parolaba tan elocuentemente, pero, dicíase a si mesma, agora vía por que a idea de ir ó circo o conmovera de tal xeito, pobre homiño, e por que viñera de súpeto con todo aquilo sobre o seu pai, nai, irmáns e irmás, e xa miraría ela para que non se mofasen nunca máis del. Ía comenta-lo asunto con Prue.
