Definition

Talking excessively about nothing in particular, going on and on without reaching a point. Everyone has a friend who yaps. You might be the friend who yaps. Self-awareness about your yapping does not reduce the yapping. It just adds a meta layer to it.

Example Usage

"I started telling a quick story and 20 minutes later realized I was still yapping. My friend's eyes had glazed over somewhere around minute three. I respect their patience."
