Why this word is great

BRABBLER — [Noun] A clamorous, quarrelsome, and noisy person; a wrangler. From the verb 'brabble' (meaning to quarrel noisily over trifles) + the agentive suffix '-er'. Unlike a brawler, who trades in fists and fury, or a pedant, who wages war with footnotes, a brabbler is a creature of pure, grating sound, defined by the petty theatre of verbal contention. It is the voice raised over a misplaced garden trowel, the neighbour's litany about a shared fence, the performative quibbling over a procedural footnote—a small, sad monument to the human need to be heard, even when one has nothing to say.
