Garrulous
Pronounced:
<gar-ral-lus>
Talking about boring or trivial things. Rambling and annoying chatter.
My use:
I have no time to be garrulous. I have to finish writing my report.
Literary use:
By Virginia Woolf
After St. John had spent some hours in the heat of the sun wrangling with
evasive and very garrulous natives, he extracted the information that there was
a doctor, a French doctor, who was at present away on a holiday in the hills.
Memory trick:
garrulous
gar (reminds
of) = garish or loud and flashy
rul (reminds of) = rule
o (reminds of) = oh
us (reminds of) = us
Garish rule! Oh us!
