Foghorn Leghorn
Foghorn Leghorn is a cartoon rooster from Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes, known for his booming Southern drawl, blowhard personality, and habit of interrupting himself: I say, I say, boy.
The name combines his foghorn voice with Leghorn, a chicken breed.
Used allusively for anyone loud, long-winded, and full of themselves: He's a real Foghorn Leghorn type—never shuts up.
