bavardage… being another much heard word of the 2000’s (though ngrams for chatter, chat shows not quite the surge in usage I’d expect; still, there is a surge.)… “High magic to low puns”: interesting how this word arose at the time not just in the sense of terrorist chatter but in the sense of g-chat, which begins around 2005… Bavardage is scarcely elevated in French ngrams, another surprising result.
