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.
Dude, I got caught in the Herrero Vortex last
night, at that poker
game. This guy just would not stop talking, and I made some
bad calls.
