Babytalk is exactly what the name suggests: talking or writing with the coherence and spelling of an infant. This may include Ls and/or Rs being replaced with Ws, the suffixes -ickle and -oo being added to normal words, or Lust Objects being referred to by pet names like "Plumpycheeks" or "Snugglywoo." It never ends well.
Very, very, VERY common in the fields of Suefics and slashfics, especially in fic summaries.
This is not to be confused with Baby, which is a language spoken by the Doctor, or the notorious Angel Sue named Baby.
