motor-mouth
Won't stop gabbing
A motor-mouth is someone who talks excessively and rapidly, unable or unwilling to stop: Once she gets going, she's a real motor-mouth.
The image is of a mouth running like a motor—mechanical, relentless, hard to shut off.
As a verb, to motor-mouth is to talk this way: He motor-mouthed through the entire meeting.
