Go Super to Listen

Actors are paid to perform. So it’s hard to imagine an actress as famous as Kristen Stewart, star of the Twilight movies, getting nervous about talking to people. But when an actor is on camera, she knows exactly what she is supposed to say, since she has a script. There is little chance that she’ll get nervous or confused and start to run off at the mouth.

When you run off at the mouth, you talk too much or babble. You might not make sense, or you might say something silly or weird. Think of a mouth that is so out of control, it is practically running away. Or imagine words running out of your mouth without any sort of filter. That’s what it means to run off at the mouth.

Run off at the mouth isn’t the only expression that you can use to talk about someone who talks too much. A motor mouth is someone who runs off at the mouth all the time. So is a chatty Cathy. You might say that someone who runs off at the mouth blathers, blurts, or babbles.

Do you ever run off at the mouth? Is there someone in your life who runs off at the mouth all the time?
