Jabberer

A 'jabberer' is an individual who speaks rapidly and incessantly, often in a way that is difficult or impossible to understand. This type of speech is frequently characterized by nonsensical, meaningless sounds or a rapid stream of words lacking coherence or a clear purpose. The term often carries a negative connotation, suggesting someone is talking without thinking or contributing anything valuable to a conversation. It can be used to describe someone who rambles, prattles, or babbles incessantly, often with an excess of verbosity.
