gumchew

1. A word that sounds has lost all meaning, or "flavor," from being said over and over again
2. The act of saying a word over and over again until it sounds weird and loses meaning.

I wanted to use the word "exfoliate" in my paper, but now it's total gumchew.

I gumchewed the word "sizzle" and my tongue feels numb.
