A new word

Klebenleiben - A pathological reluctance to stop talking about a given subject.

Public radio is so educational. And so many of the words I learn there apply to me.

  2. I think you're looking for Klebenlieben, which Babelfish translates as "sticking love."

  3. Nope, I don't. The defition I heard on public radio (and the spelling) match what I found on the net, which is probably where the "Says You" producers found it as well. It ain't the OED, I admit.
