Some women were vaccinated with a Victrola needle. ( For those of you too young to understand – Google it ! )Or you could say, some can’t turn off the Yappomatic !
I’m really going to get in trouble, now, but to quote a riposte from Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing about the sharped tongued Beatrice : " I wish my horse has the speed of her tongue…and so good a continuer ! "
The language protein is called Foxp2. I’m sure my Significant Other, whom I love dearly (anyway) regularly overdoses. If I choose not to listen, she’ll talk to the dog.
The 3 most loquacious people I ever knew were both men. Once they started they never would shut up. I think they all loved the sounds of their own voices.
And they have a memory that goes back 30 or more years…Remember when you looked a that girl in 1983. They’re like a elephant when it comes to a arguement.
For one day they should have guys do mega talking and gals do minimal talking. Guys can find out how exhausting it is to talk so much and gals will go buy earplugs.
I was the only guy in a meeting at work with six female coworkers. It took 40 minutes for me to get a full sentence in. No exaggeration, I looked at my watch. Just saying.
I guess I talk less than the average woman because I don’t talk much. In fact, whenever I get estimates for work, it’s always the male contractors who talk the most.
Had a friend, who’s now passed away, who would start talking the moment we arrived and didn’t stop to take a breath unless we were eating. She talked fast and non-stop. Used to drive me crazy.

You could put that language protein on crackers for extra bite.

Oh! That would explain why men are so dumb! Hard to believe they use up 6000 of them talking about sports!

@Linguist — you quoted " " I wish my horse has the speed of her tongue…and so good a continuer ! "I get the first part, but what’s a “continuer?”

Girls are born talking on the phone. That makes it hard for boys to catch up.

Women talk more because we have to repeat everything we say to men.

We own a business. It is the men who come in early every morning and talk , not the women!!! They gossip a lot more too.

Re: the comments from the men on here, there is a good reason men talk less. When they open their mouths inevitably they trip on their tongue.
