Confab

Does anybody use that word? I've never heard it outside my family.

Closest thing I've seen is the program Konfabulator, which my boyfriend does work for at Yahoo.. It was renamed recently though. :\

No-one I know, but it IS a neat work.

I've heard it plenty in Washington, but strangely, not in California or Nebraska.

It's hard for me to lock down precisely if I've heard it...I'm pretty certain people at work (in NYC) have used it, but as someone below said, I never realized other people *don't* use it, so now I'm unsure if maybe my memory is faulty! :-D

Here. My dad used to hold what he called "bullshit sessions" with his fellow soldiers before I was born; it got changed, at my mom's insistence, to "confab sessions" due to Tender Young Ears.

I hadn't really realized that most people *didn't* use it until today, since I grew up with everyone using it.

Ditto. I've heard it used in business situations sometimes, I am pretty sure... That is in NYC of course.

I'd heard of confabulation, but not confab. But we all know Con is fab!
