"I don't know what the big deal is," said Ray to his girlfriend when she saw him talking with his ex. "We were only sharing a small confabulation. It was nothing more than small talk!"


I wish I knew a way to use the second meaning in a sentence, but I don't quite understand it, so I'm not going to even try to butcher it. I just thought this word sounded spectacular!
