fidgetspin.livejournal.comPalaver \pə-ˈla-vər\
(noun)

2. A meeting, conference, or discussion
3. A long parley usually between persons of different cultures or levels of sophistication
4. (informal) A disagreement

1. To discuss
Etymology
Originally nautical slang, from Portuguese palavra (“‘speech’”), from Late Latin parabola (“‘parable, speech’”)
Moving into a new house with an HOA I expected a certain amount of disagreement of ideas among neighbors' palaver, but it seems our community has just undergone a hostile coup in which those who want to plant grass in common areas have been ousted by those who want to xeriscape.
