Recently after a talk by an eminent personality, my Professor commented: A fine example of logorrhea. My ears stood up on hearing this absolutely new word which rhymed with diarrhoea. The word is quite novel to me, even my computer's word document fails to recognise it (It thinks I have confused the spelling of gonorrhea).
The meaning can be roughly translated as a diarrhoea of words. Well, the word means excessive use of words and diarrhoea is excessive (you know what).
Words marvel me and I can ceased to be amazed by them.
Logorrhea, anyone?

Don"t you love learning new words like that?
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a psychiatric term they've taught us. Excessive verbalisation or verbal diarrhoea! :D Manic people have it. Words move so swiftly from specialised jargon to general parlance..English is indeed the world's most beautiful bottom-feeder!
