Talking head - meaning

A β€œTalking Head” is someone who never stops talking. They will corner you by your car after a long day’s work to tell you gossip about the neighbors or to ask you about the details of your day, so they can distort it and spread it throughout the neighborhood.

Not all Talking Heads are malicious, but all talking heads are idiots and time-wasters. Over a year, you can lose many precious hours cornered by a Talking Head.

It is important to cut them off immediately, even if it seems rude and you end up on their β€œneighborhood hit list.” For the most part, all Talking Heads, unknown to themselves, are hated and despised by most people.

"Man, Jean sure is one tedious β€œTalking Head.” I just lost an hour of my life that I will never get back just talking to them."
