Sousa is correct.. The original term is "parrot" and is French and dates to around 1520. Definition of the verb PARROT : "To repeat (something, such as words, ideas, etc.) without understanding the meaning ◾Some of the students were just parroting what the teacher said." This applies to most politicians and talking heads such as seen on CNN.. ie not an original thought in their heads. However, as to playing accormNNMnzdeon or another musical instrument.. it is not parroting (nor the incorrect word parakeeting) is learning by rote.
