articulation mechanics 

The process of selecting the words which will best express one's thoughts and/or emotions, ordering and reordering those words in one's head, writing them down.
Unable to, as usual, easily put an idea she 'felt' into words, Serenata applied 'articulation mechanics' by selecting the words that best expressed her idea, ordering and reordering them in her head, and writing them in a notebook. She called that mental and physical process articulation mechanics.

Premature Articulation 

When someone interrupts you while you are talking but what they have to say has nothing to do with what you were talking about. Someone who talks out of turn.
ME: My boss fired me the other day because I kept interrupting him when he was trying to tell me what to do.

YOU: Sounds like you suffer from Premature Articulation.

articulation 

The way in which someone speaks. If they have bad articulation, it is generally thought that this person is an imbecile. If they articulate themselves well, you may continue to converse with them.
Bad articulation: "Like, I love the way that the colours in the sky are like totally pretty. I wonder if that's because of the atmosphere or some shit."

Good articulation: "The colours in the sky are fantastic, and very beautiful. Maybe it's because of the atmosphere that they are this way."

Premature Articulation 

Premature Articulation is the act of speaking/bragging too soon before all the facts are in, the game is over, etc.
Dude, I totally jinxed the Cardinals by blathering all over Facebook about how they were kicking ass, then they lost the game. For the first time since high school, I experienced premature articulation!

Positive Articulation 

Selecting words to express an idea in a positive way conscious that doing so will engender positive consequences.
The chairman of the board asked the speech writer to write the announcement using positive articulation instead of the negative articulation she,—for unexplained reasons—had used. The managers were surprised to see that she worded the announcement as she did, wondered if he was a saboteur, got her fired on-the-spot, and had a different writer write the speech.

When talking about urban vinyl (designer toys), articulations are joints (movable arms, legs, head, ...).
Baby Balls is my favorite toy of the line. This guy has a style that I can relate to. He has three points of articulation and comes with a bottle of cheap beer that is always full.
