A British regional dialect word for gossip or idle chatter — the kind of pointless, noisy talk that spreads rumors. The 'clat' element relates to clattering or clacking; 'fart' adds contempt for the worthlessness of the talk. A wonderfully descriptive compound that captures gossip's noisy emptiness.
The village clatfart had her version of events around to every house on the street before the day was out.
