increasingly verbose meme

A type of multi-frame image in which a lackluster or overused meme is replicated with poorer graphical fidelity but increased verbosity successive times to the point where it is difficult to understand the meme without the original context. Also called 'meme corruption' or 'progressively verbose meme'.

Captions of an increasingly verbose meme:

Frame 1: It's high noon

Frame 2: The time is 12pm.

Frame 3: The grandfather clock currently displays a reading of twelve o'clock post meridian.

Frame 4: It has become increasingly apparent to me that due to the rotation of Earth relative to the Sun, the current "time" as defined by Ancient Egyptians via the decan system is denoted by the numerical value "twelve" of the clock, signalling that the Sun is at the highest point in the sky.

verbose

Verbosity is the ability, limited in the general population, to utilize words which may be archaic, lengthy, and in the English language are more often than not based in Latin. Quite often, the phrases used in such a manner are synonymous with much more succinct forms. In addition to the expansive vocabulary utilized, prose which is deemed 'verbose' will quite often feature parenthetical phrases in unusual frequency, as might be found in scientific journals or university textbooks. Though accepted in academic contexts for its ability to explain, in great detail, concepts which may seem rather complex to the average layperson, the overuse of excessive verbosity will often cause common folk, especially those who might be afflicted with the neurological disorder known as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), to lose interest in the concepts being explained, and thus the knowledge they might gain would be lost to them. Moderation, therefore, is the key to the proper usage of verbosity.

It's good for padding English essays, and there's a type of thread on 4chan that shows up every once in a while where people talk like that for the lulz.

Person 1: Should you deign to learn the definition of Verbose, one needs only glance upwards, and focus one's eyes on the paragraph above.
Person 2: Uh, you lost me at "deign."

verbusive

To be verbally abusive.

Classic verbusive dialogue (from Full Metal Jacket):

Sgt. Hartman: "How tall are you, private?"
Private Cowboy: "Sir, five-foot-nine, sir!"
Sgt. Hartman: "Five-foot-nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that high. You trying to squeeze an inch on me somewhere, huh?"
Private Cowboy: "Sir, No Sir."
Sgt. Hartman: "Bullshit! It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress."

Verborrhea

An excessive and seemingly uncontrollable amount of words that shoots out from a person. Can be written or verbal. The characteristics of the outpouring tends to be words not contributing to the general understanding of the topic at hand.

Karen's verborrhea put an immediate halt to the passionate discussion on the plight in Darfur.
