It's a matter of context
Edmund: Right, Baldrick, this is an old trick I picked up in the Sudan. We
tell HQ that I've gone insane, and I'll be invalided back to Blighty
before you can say "Wooble" -- a poor gormless idiot.
Baldrick: But I'm a poor gormless idiot, sir, and I've never been invalided
back to Blighty.
Edmund: Yes, Baldrick, but you've never said "Wooble." Now, ask me some simple
questions.
Baldrick: Right. What is your name?
Edmund: Wooble...
Baldrick: What is two plus two?
Edmund: Oh, wooble wooble.
Baldrick: Where do you live?
Edmund: London.
Baldrick: Eh?
Edmund: A small village on Mars, just outside the capital city, Wooble.
