What it means
Waffle means ramble on and on without landing the point, usually to dodge a question or fill awkward silence. You can waffle in a meeting, on a date, or when the boss asks why the job's late. As a noun, a load of waffle is pure hot air. Handy word when someone's chatting but saying nowt.
