blurting out
Speaking without thinking
Blurting out is saying something suddenly and without thinking, often revealing what you meant to keep private or interrupting when you shouldn't: She blurted out the surprise before the guest arrived, He kept blurting out answers without raising his hand.
The phrase emphasizes impulsiveness—words escaping before the filter kicks in.
