Word of the day: persiflage

Today's Word of the Day from Merriam-Webster is persiflage, which is defined as frivolous bantering talk or light raillery. The example usage they give is:

When the cooking segment ran short, Greta and her cohost turned to persiflage to fill up the time left until the commercial break.

I'd adapt that to the blogosphere as:

When the blogger ran out of ideas for posts, he turned to persiflage to fill up the time left until his next great idea.

I'd personally never do that, but I suspect that some bloggers might.
