Part of Speech:
Noun / Verb
Definition:
The act of launching into a long-winded, detail-heavy monologue that no
one asked for—and no
one can escape. Often repetitive, oddly specific, and delivered with zero awareness that everyone else has emotionally left the room.
Traits include:
– Repeating the same point with minor grammatical variations
– Unsolicited deep dives into niche topics (e.
g., printer ink pricing trends since 2004)
– Facial expressions that suggest the speaker believes they're crushing it
