So glad you appreciated it! And such precision, too! Who knew there were so many insults for such specific types of behavior? Some of my favorites:
• rakefire: A visitor who outstays his or her welcome. Originally, someone who stays so late the dying coals in the fireplace would need to be raked over just to keep it burning.
• snoutband: Someone who constantly interrupts a conversation, typically only to contradict or correct someone else.
• muck-spout: A dialect word for someone who not only talks a lot, but who seems to constantly swear.
• klazomaniac: Someone who only seems able to speak by shouting.
