Phrasemonger

[edit]

Would "chatterbox" be a translation? "Phrasemonger" sounds like a seller of phrases! Dbfirs 21:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

No, it doesn’t mean chatterbox. A phrasemonger (and краснобай) means someone given to making fine-sounding but often hollow and meaningless phrases. —Stephen 21:51, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
