A to Z April Challenge B is for…

It is the second day of the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge.

Today’s letter is:

B

Ross is only a few years older than me, 4-1/2 to be exact.  But sometimes it seems like we are a generation apart.  He has knowledge of and interest in music, books, movies, etc from a time before he was born or at best he was just a child.
For example, if he gets control of the remote, he will flip over to TCM - The Turner Classic Movie channel.  It seems like whatever movie is playing happens to be his all time favorite.
Wait a minute what am I saying, he is a man, he always has control of the remote!
Anyway, just to test him, without telling him why, I went to the TCM website and asked about these 10
movies.

 So This Is Africa (1933)

 Duck Soup

 The Woman I Stole Aloha (1931)

 Under a Texas Moon (1930)

 Estrellados (1930)

 The Sea Bat (1930) Nina

 The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1929)

 The Desert Rider (1929)

 White Shadows in the South Seas (1928) 

 He knew them all and the year they were made.

We dabble in the antiques and collectibles business.  One time we picked up a box of old, old sheet music.
He knew the words to many of the songs.

He comes from the small town of Nyack, New York, as do several generations of his family.
He is quite comfortable and knows his way around New York City.
But, most of the places he talks about are no longer there.   I call them the Use2b’s.

Some of the slang words and phrases he uses are unfamiliar to me.
He “frogs” around, which I finally figured out means “just hanging out, not doing much.”

Sometimes he will notice the puzzled look on my face and will say to me, “Don’t pay attention to me, I am just blathering.”

So now we finally come to it.  My B word for today is:

blath·er·skite  

/ˈblaT͟Hərˌskīt/

Noun A person who talks at great length without making much sense. Foolish talk; nonsense: "politicians get away all the time with their blatherskite".

A GREAT BIG DISCLAIMER:

Even though, at times, Ross can blather with the best of the skites, (AKA BS’ers I guess),  his extensive  knowledge of an incredibly varied number of subjects is certainly not trivial, is never foolish,  and is always impressive!
Besides, how else would I ever have known that Rosie O’Donnell once lived in Nyack in Helen Hayes’s old house?
