Learn English – Term for “person who just keeps talking and won’t go away”

pejorative-languagesingle-word-requests

I'm looking for a polite word for someone who traps you in a conversation. I'd like to avoid suggesting that the person is foolish, just that they continue a conversation in spite of all hints that you need to leave or hang up the phone or get on with what you were doing.

Best Answer

If you want to be polite, go with "garrulous".

If you want to be less formal, go with "motormouth".

Personally, I like "oblivious chatterbox".

I googled the term and found this gem on Twitter:

For an exhausted introvert to be held captive by an oblivious chatterbox - could there be a more acute form of torture?
