Question about Pabulum

Just a stupid question about pabulum, forgive me. I was under the impression that the word "pabulum" (kind of like an infant food?) was rather archaic -and not commonly used, especially in the US.

Just a stupid argument with someone, and I am curious, forgive me...

I think you're right. You can find it in many dictionaries (like the one below), but as far as everyday conversational use, I'd say it's pretty much obsolete, at least where I'm from.

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time :)

Just to qualify, it isn't exactly an "argument", I just ran across another person insulting a nurse because she didn't know the word.

Like your quotes by the way!

Did you notice the difference between "pabulum" and "pablum"? The second word, I think, might still be used referring to baby cereal. I never heard of 'pabulum', you learn something new all the time @ allnurses!

Yeah, lol -

I was more familiar with "pablum" myself.
