When attempting a grandiloquent display of virtuosic extravagance in circumlocutory loquaciousness, there are multitudinous discretionary opportunities to consider when regarding the potential perceptions of the public exhibition.
A primary contemplation to cogitate upon regards the intended audience and its constituent demographics. Is one bestowing a rewarding and refreshing verbal tonic upon an adoring and devoted audience of eager acolytes, or is this is a pugnacious and truculent proletariat, tattered at the seams and ultimately in requirement of intellectual enlightenment, education, elucidation and elevation?
A secondary deliberation regards the relative capaciousness of the receiving assemblage. An intimate tete a tete with a smattering of devotees behooves a more genial and placid exposition than would a more bombastic and declamatory argument intended to induce paradigmatic reconfigurations upon an indolent, obdurate legion of window-licking yokels.
But before we become too enmeshed within the weedy shoals of our metaphorical preparatory imaginarium, it would behoove us to consider the prototypical seed of your primordial inquiry, in which case the paramount response would be "sesquipedalian".
English does have the word "logorrhea", whose etymology might technically just come from "word flow", but there's no way to miss the association with "diarrhea".

"Verbose" or "wordy." These terms describe someone who uses more words than necessary to convey an idea or message. Another term that might fit is "circumlocutory," which means using many words when fewer would do.
"Person who says a lot of words when they could use very few to make the same damn point, its not that hard dude just summarize it in your head and then share the summary, I'm not your abusive ex-mom I'm not going to call you a liar until you prove that your hat was really blue"
I have a question for all who's been playing this game for an extended period of time. I see the "unsolved" tag but how soon after someone gets it correct are does the tag change to "solved"?
āSesquipedalityā is an excellent fancy-pants word for the phenomenon of talkinā fancy where simplicity would do. Its etymology derives from āfoot-and-a-halfā and captures the vibe of using more than necessary.
It depends if they sound pompous, in which case I would say bombastic, but if not I would say that they are rambling. If they were rude, I would say that words fall from their lips like shit from an ass.
Thatās called the fine art of saying a bunch of things without really saying anything at all. The person might feel nervous or awkward. Or they might have a hard time making their point. Or it could be your reactions and facial expressions making said person feel uncomfortable so they feel like they have to over explain themselves so someone doesnāt get all angry and butt hurt like people tend to do these days.
Oralplicity, or is it vocalplicity? I forget but I know it'll be one of the two or is it both? Anyway, it is both rude and unnecessary to go on and on about something when people either get it or are tired of it but someone just goes on and on until you twist in your chair and squirm like a rodent in a trap because it seems that it will never end yet you listen anyway until you confess to a murder you are about to commit!
