Thanks, Jack. Now I know what your Mom meant when I was trying to ask her to marry me and she said "Would you cut through the logorrhea and get to the point?" All these years I thought she was asking for another slice of the cheese.
... and what were you doing up at 12:10 am on a school night?
Hey Jack! I too always thought Logorrhea was some kind of cheese. Thanks so much for setting me straight (you know I get confused so easily!) And what WERE YOU doing up at 12:10 a.m. on a school night? I hope you aren't having problems sleeping! You are way too young to start that young man. Love You, Diana
Jack,
I can not think of a more appropriate word to describe loquacious behavior. It tastefully describes the less than tasteful behavior or rather ailment that many suffer from known as diarrhea of the mouth.
Well done my young freind. Huzzah!
