gabby
Prone to chatter
Gabby means talkative, often excessively so.
Someone gabby chatters on without much restraint: My gabby neighbor told me her whole life story while I waited for the elevator.
The word is informal and mildly critical—it suggests someone talks more than the listener wants. (Capitalized Gabby is a nickname.)
