Get the ATIS mug.Noun: A person who talks all of the time. Usually a male that connot control the verbal diarrhea. If he were a female, which could but up for debate, he would be called a chatty cathy. Frequently compared to the nagging mother-in-law.
That guy talks so much he is like listening to ATIS. You can put the phone down and pick it up 3 hours later and he will be saying the same thing.
