I think this would be a mayfly (I'm learning, hopefully!)
Recently I heard someone say I was "talking cabbage." I didn't think about it at the time and wasn't able to ask them what they meant at the time. At any rate, what the heck does "talking cabbage" mean? Would it be the same as "talking crap"? (that's not too extreme for Hatrack, is it?)

Not that it's particularly important, but the fellow talking was Welsh - I'm reluctant to jump on "talking cabbage" as a British thing since there's an enormous amount of American slang and phrases that I'm not familiar with.

Since I feel odd using a telephone to talk to more than one person at a time, I didn't respond. I suppose I could always ask the guy what he meant, but I don't know him very well.

Well, yes. I was planning on deleting it after I got it figured out.
I simple assumed that it was more likely that "talking cabbage" was a common term that I happen to be ignorant of than it having somewhat (apparently) obscure meaning.
