Venterator?

I didn't venterator you; you don't venterator me.

I was wondering what does it mean by venterator in this context? More details follows in this link:


Is venterator even a word? I can not find it in my dictionary.

Thanks.

As I understand the references, it was a mis-spoken version of the noun, "ventilator." (not a verb)

THIS is from a great TV show, Gilmore Girls and is a play on the word "vent", like to complain or express a deep emotion. They use the word "venterator" to mean the person who is listening to the other person "vent." Like if you were venting to me about the bad day you had, I would be your venterator. Totally made up word, but totally great concept.

Also note that it's a formation from "governator", a governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, so-called because of his role in the movie The Terminator.

It's used in Gilmore girls. It's the name for a person who you vent your problems too.
