PseudoDictionary word of yesterday: - with apologies!
talkabout - (n) the point in a conversation where the person talking ignores the proper protocol of fair exchange and goes on a seemingly endless verbal journey. From the aboriginal word for journey, "walkabout." (Some of these people end up in politics and some on talk shows.)

e.g., I knew I was doomed to be late when, speaking about her grandchildren, she went on a talkabout.
