Welcome to the English we speak with me, Rob, but no Fei.
Fei.
Where is she?
Oh, sorry I'm late.
Where have you been?
Well, I was on the way to the studio and I bumped into Richard and you know Richard, he started rabbiting on.
Richard's got a rabbit?
No, no.
I mean he wouldn't stop talking.
To rabbit on describes someone talking continuously so
that other people lose interest in what they are saying and become bored.
And Richard was really going on and on and on.
So it's got nothing to do with rabbits?
No, Rob.
Let's hear some examples, shall we?
Mark just won't stop rabbiting on about the weather.
He.
He's so boring.
