1. To talk incessantly; chatter
2. A conversation; chat

Oaf (noun)

1. A stupid person
2. A big clumsy slow-witted person

The redundant oaf continued to natter on even though the person rolled his eyes in annoyance.

I kind of exaggerated a bit, but you get the point (I needed some kind of context clue for oaf). I will include a custom sentence (thanks for the suggestion).

This thread died faster than my last CS attempt. C 'mon fig, edumacate us! Start with dulcet, as in 'the dulcet tones of Lulu's voice"

for the second word, try shrill, as in "the shrill call of the toucan"

Seriously? Plonk sounds like a verb .. as in: Someone ought to plonk you upside the head. Ruminate on that.
