Definition
漫无边际 is a four-character idiom. Literally it means 'vast without boundary', describing something limitless. Figuratively, it is used to describe speech or writing that strays far from the main topic, i.e., rambling or discursive. Note: the correct pronunciation is màn wú biān jì, not màn mó as listed in the source.
