Logorrhea

It's today's Word of the Day, and it means "excessive talkativeness or wordiness."

We have the word, we have the definition. Surely I'm not the only one pushing for a much-needed and sure-to-be-applauded change:

logorrhea \law-guh-REE-uh\, noun: diarrhea of the mouth.

Also, I believe that word was the winning word at the Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee a few years ago (and yes, you know an Indian girl won it).

  1. In fact, it was the gal in the documentary Spellbound who won on that word.
