Jabitation 1. A body turning restless during an illness. 2. Boastful or false statement

I am told the first meaning still applies on occasion in the medical community. But it is the second meaning that interests me (as you can well guess I suppose?) In this meaning there is even a noun form, Jactator..or braggart. Whom I am sure we have all met.

One could be most awfully ROOD with 'Jactator' cos the recipient would not have the slightest idea... what FUN! Oh, you are coming up with some wonders... in what are you looking? or do you have one of those marvellous memories that store all SORTS of stuff - hah don't believe it... you 'Jactator" teeheee love you/.XXXXX

Part of it is memory and part of it is from a rather eccentric book collection of languages and words.
