Dan,

re pith

I think the word you wanted was "piffle".

piffle - intr. v; to talk or act in a feeble or futile way.
- n; foolish or futile talk or ideas.

The noun definition perfectly describes most of what Naked Ray has ever posted.

pith - n; 1. Botany. The soft, spongelike substance in the center of stems and branches of most vascular plants. 2. the essential or central part of anything; essence; gist. 3. Force; strength; vigor.

Naked Ray is a prime example of "unpith" under definitions 2 and 3. He may however be full of "soft, spongelike substance". ggg

pith -
