Etymology

The term 'motormouth' comes from the combination of the word 'motor,' which suggests something that moves fast, and 'mouth,' which is used to describe the act of speaking. The concept implies that the person's mouth operates at a high speed, similar to how a motor runs. This word is believed to have originated in American slang during the late 20th century, gaining popularity as a humorous way to describe someone who can't stop talking. The playful connotation of the term makes it a favored choice in casual settings, where exaggerated descriptions of behavior add to the lightheartedness of conversation.
