Someone who talks a lot without stopping.
خلفية ثقافية
In traditional nomadic culture, a person who could talk 'without a dry mouth' was highly valued as a source of news and entertainment in isolated areas. Similar concepts exist across Turkic and Mongolic languages where the physical effort of speaking is linked to social status and hospitality. Today, it's often used to describe 'influencers' or 'podcasters' who have a high output of verbal content. It is a very affectionate way for grandparents to describe their talkative grandchildren.
