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:
gar
rulous

gar (reminds of) = garish or loud and flashy
rul (reminds of) =  rule
o (reminds of) = oh
us (reminds of) = us

Garish rule! Oh us!

Listen: Garrulous
