Bedeutung
To talk continuously without a break.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The idiom reflects the monsoon culture of Kerala. Rain is a constant companion, and its 'non-stop' nature is a common linguistic yardstick. Many iconic 'sidekick' characters in Malayalam movies are defined by this trait. Actors like Jagathy Sreekumar or Innocent often played characters who talk 'vaaya thoraathe' to create comedy. While being talkative is often seen as being 'lively' (churuchurukkulla), doing it 'vaaya thoraathe' in serious situations is considered a sign of immaturity.

Don't use with your boss
It's too informal for a professional setting. Stick to 'excessive talking' in formal meetings.
