to talk too much · to speak boastfully or carelessly
Ever been in a conversation where someone just can't stop talking, often bragging or saying things without thinking? 😅 That's when you might hear someone say they 'run their mouth'! It's usually not a compliment, so use with caution! 😉
💡 **Heads up!** This expression often has a negative connotation, implying someone is talking excessively or carelessly, sometimes even gossiping or making empty threats. It's usually used by someone *observing* the talkative person, not by the talkative person themselves. So, think before you speak, or you might be accused of running your mouth! 🗣️
When would you most appropriately use the expression 'run your mouth'? A. 🤫 When someone is sharing a secret quietly. B. 🗣️ When someone is talking nonstop, bragging loudly about themselves. C. 🙏 When someone is politely asking for information.
