Learn one new word every month

Hmm, I didn't update for December on this task. I did learn a word, though, so I'll post it now and count it as my word for December, then work on learning a new one for January next.

So, my word for December is logorrhea.

Yeah, like gonorrhea or diarrhea.  It refers to incessant, excessive, and/or incoherent talking, and can also refer to an actual psychological disorder.   I work with someone who seriously just doesn't ever stop talking, regardless of an audience, and another coworker stated one day that "she must suffer from logorrhea."  So I had to delve into that.
