No, I don't think it's a common word in the US and maybe my usage isn't
correct. I use it in a sense of bothersome chatter. I would be most
likely to use the word to describe my old Gabby Garmin GPS's useless
chatter when I get admonished for ignoring her instructions... turn
here... make a U turn as soon as possible... make a U turn as soon as
possible... recalculating... etc, etc... :-)
ps: I just bought a new Chrysler whose nav system is much more gentle in
admonishing me for failure to follow instructions. :-)
