Loquacious

 Loquacious. 

This extremely impressive sounding word is the third-to-last thing I learned in 2023. And I didn’t even set out to do it! Aren’t I clever to trip over it at the last moment? 

It means, and I quote…. (At least in part. I wonder if you can tell where the Emi-ing begins🤔)

Somebody full (to the brim and overflowing, spilling out the door and down the street) of trivial conversation. I have a sneaking suspicion that if you looked this word up in the dictionary, there miiiiiiight just be a picture of me. A nice little black and white one that I would hate but would look just exactly like me in the middle of one of my rambles and not stopping for either punctuation or to breathe. Just like so.

Probably mid-phrase and caught with my mouth open, just to make me mad.

Like this, but not so cute😜
