Speaking Old Entish

I took the folks out today for lunch. They ran into an old neighbor from when they first moved here. She can talk exponentially. My father stated, "I thought that we'd be here all afternoon."

It reminded me of Lord of the Rings, "It takes a long time to say something in Old Entish, so anything worth saying takes a long time."

"expontentially?" There is no such word.

She was talking about how she helps her landlady take out her garbage when I asked her, "how are you going to continue blathering on when you have no mouth?"
