word vomit
Unfiltered speech torrent
Word vomit is unfiltered speech that spills out before you can stop it—saying too much, too fast, without thinking.
The term captures how the words feel involuntary, like a physical reflex: I didn't mean to tell her about the surprise party, it was total word vomit.
Sometimes used for any excessive verbal outpouring, whether regretted or not.
