Obganiate

To annoy someone by saying the same thing again. And again.

Obganiate (ob-GAY-nee-ayt): to annoy someone by repeatedly saying the same thing, or intransitively, to repeat oneself tediously. It comes from the Latin obgannire, to yelp or growl at, which is exactly the right image — not argument, just noise aimed at you until you give in. In use since 1623, so the behaviour is not new either.
