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.

– 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
