He took a great liking to this Rev. Mr. Peters, and talked with him a great deal: told him yarns, gave him toothsome scraps of personal history, and wove a glittering streak of profanity through his garrulous fabric that was refreshing to a spirit weary of the dull neutralities of undecorated speech.-- Mark Twain, "Some Rambling Notes of an Idle Excursion II", The Atlantic, November 1877garrulous \GAIR-uh-lus; GAIR-yuh-\, adjective:
1. Talking much, especially about commonplace or trivial things; talkative.
2. Wordy.
It is all a matter of how you say it - chocolate mousse or late mousse bakes it all.
