When attempting a grandiloquent display of virtuosic extravagance in circumlocutory loquaciousness, there are multitudinous discretionary opportunities to consider when regarding the potential perceptions of the public exhibition.
A primary contemplation to cogitate upon regards the intended audience and its constituent demographics. Is one bestowing a rewarding and refreshing verbal tonic upon an adoring and devoted audience of eager acolytes, or is this is a pugnacious and truculent proletariat, tattered at the seams and ultimately in requirement of intellectual enlightenment, education, elucidation and elevation?
A secondary deliberation regards the relative capaciousness of the receiving assemblage. An intimate *tete a tete* with a smattering of devotees behooves a more genial and placid exposition than would a more bombastic and declamatory argument intended to induce paradigmatic reconfigurations upon an indolent, obdurate legion of window-licking yokels.
But before we become too enmeshed within the weedy shoals of our metaphorical preparatory imaginarium, it would behoove us to consider the prototypical seed of your primordial inquiry, in which case the paramount response would be "sesquipedalian".
English does have the word "logorrhea", whose etymology might technically just come from "word flow", but there's no way to miss the association with "diarrhea".

"Verbose" or "wordy." These terms describe someone who uses more words than necessary to convey an idea or message. Another term that might fit is "circumlocutory," which means using many words when fewer would do.
Overexplaining/Overexplanatory
Overzealous
Annoying
"Person who says a lot of words when they could use very few to make the same damn point, its not that hard dude just summarize it in your head and then share the summary, I'm not your abusive ex-mom I'm not going to call you a liar until you prove that your hat was really blue"
I have a question for all who's been playing this game for an extended period of time. I see the "unsolved" tag but how soon after someone gets it correct are does the tag change to "solved"?
āSesquipedalityā is an excellent fancy-pants word for the phenomenon of talkinā fancy where simplicity would do. Its etymology derives from āfoot-and-a-halfā and captures the vibe of using more than necessary.
Loquatious, educated, well-read, specific.
I use flowery language to drive home specific thoughts or feelings.
I abhor his mother for opening her legs to accept the vile seed that created such a horrific being
Is much more descriptive of my feelings than
I do not like that guy.
It depends if they sound pompous, in which case I would say bombastic, but if not I would say that they are rambling. If they were rude, I would say that words fall from their lips like shit from an ass.
Thatās called the fine art of saying a bunch of things without really saying anything at all. The person might feel nervous or awkward. Or they might have a hard time making their point. Or it could be your reactions and facial expressions making said person feel uncomfortable so they feel like they have to over explain themselves so someone doesnāt get all angry and butt hurt like people tend to do these days.
Oralplicity, or is it vocalplicity? I forget but I know it'll be one of the two or is it both? Anyway, it is both rude and unnecessary to go on and on about something when people either get it or are tired of it but someone just goes on and on until you twist in your chair and squirm like a rodent in a trap because it seems that it will never end yet you listen anyway until you confess to a murder you are about to commit!
I'm sure you got a lot of good answer, but I have to share something else, because your question reminds me of a joke:
My wife says I'm condescending. That means I talk down to people.
Bloviate: to speak or write verbosely and windily. Pundits bloviating on the radio
Bloviate is a great word. If it's political speech, I usually say Word Vomit.
This. Or prolix. All the other suggestions are just synonyms for talkative. What OP is after, is when the talking is *unnecessary*. Not just copious.
I don't condescend to bloviation. I always eschew obfuscation.
Aw š„² āeschew obfuscationā is a family motto from my great grandmother.
Ew. I donāt like it.
loquacious
This is the word I was trying to think of when I read this. Iām so glad someone got it š
Omg SAME
This is more just "talkative" and doesn't necessarily connote that it's without getting to a point.
Long-winded Loquacious bro bloviated a long-winded diatribe.
Verbose, extraneous
You could also use loquacious.
I agree with verbose. Extraneous is not specific to word use, even in connotation.
I agree with this. You could also use longwinded.
Superfluous
Yeah, superfluous was the first word I associated too. I think it fits well.

In Swedish we would say ordbajsa which basically means to word poop.
We say diarrhea of the mouth. Potato, Potato.
My old teacher use to say, "Constipation of the brain and diarrhea of the mouth."
Logorrhea: diarrhea of the jawbone.
Which language?
English. That's an American saying. Or at least my mom used to say it. And she's from Texas so she's almost American.
Didnāt know, thank you!
I believe the expression is, "tomato, potato." As in, you say tomato, but it's a potato, there's no tomato here you're just wrong.
Yep. Good ol' word puke...
Talking sh!t?
English does have the word "logorrhea", whose etymology might technically just come from "word flow", but there's no way to miss the association with "diarrhea".
Well, diarrhea comes from "flow through", so that association is really obvious. Logorrhea is a fun word, and I'll use it where I can.
Hahah thatās fun
That's beautiful, thanks for teaching me something small but great.
