The Herrero Vortex is named for the situation, whereby one finds themselves in the company of someone who talks continually, non-stop, about stuff no one wants to hear, and apparently has the stamina to go for hours. It's coupled with the circumstance, where you cannot easily get away. At first there may be an
interesting point made, or you just want to be polite. After a while, it becomes annoying and you just want it to end. It could even affect your
mental state, as
eventually, your only goal is to escape. It gets its name from the Spanish word for blacksmith - someone who tirelessly and with fortitude, hammers away at something for hours at a time.
