Manologue

When a man goes off on a monologue rather than lending space for diverse conversations to ensue.

At the meeting Tuesday I brought up the issue of what happened over the weekend and Tod went off on a manologue, not allowing any room for conversation.

monologuing

The present tense/active form of monologued. The act of delivering an involved stream-of-consciousness exposition or explanation, usually in an overly dramatic fashion, that completely halts the conversation. Like in a book or movie where the action screeches to a halt so the character can stand and deliver a huge load of backstory or explanation. Not always TMI or a rant, although those can be forms of monologuing.

Man, she just started monologuing and it was all over.

Bad Guy Monologue

Inner monologue high

When you become so zooted (stoned) that you begin talk to yourself in the third person, while often creating imaginary people to have hypothetical conversations with. Essentially, you are having a conversation with multiple people that are within your mind discussing hypothetical situations that are often ridiculous and far-fetching.

Dude1: John, Look at that man cutting the grass! We need to stop him, he's murdering those blades of grass!

Pseudo-Dude2: Holy haberdashery John, you're right! He's a monster! Those poor blades of grass!

Pseudo-Dude3: Think about the baby grass blades! Watching their parents being gruesomely murdered and knowing that one day, they will be murdered too!

Dude1: Holy shit John, you're inner monologue high.

monologue

One person speaking alone, often to more than one other person without expected comment

Jay Leno might as well have a dialogue, since his band leader always laughs at the jokes that bomb and then continues to talk to Jay to make up for the silence afterwards
