MotorMouth
#86520
This Troper normally speaks slowly and carefully, thinking about every word. Whenever she's having any kind of an oral exam she activates the Nitro and turns into a MotorMouth. Teachers are usually so surprised they don't even bother to listen what actually is she saying.
#86521
This troper has seen people do this plenty of times. One point where I did this myself was when I saw a spy in ''TeamFortress 2'' and panicked; #QUOTE#@/{{Bisected8}}: There'saspyinthesewer nowaithe'satthetop nohe'scoembackin Ineedtocalmdowndon'tI? Waithe'scomingout...nevermindgothim!\\ ...Afterwards, several other players on my team commented that they'd never heard someone talk so quickly.
#86522
ThisTroper is a bit of a MotorMouth herself, often having to slow things down for her friends who didn't quite get it the first time.
#86523
ThisTroper occasionally takes a turn into MotorMouth territory, typically when he has a very short time to say something and his slight grammatical OCD kicks in, meaning he has to finish a complete and correct sentence before he allows himself to shut up.
#86524
This troper tends to speak quite quickly, and his speech tends to speed up when he gets exited, eventually becoming night incomprehensible.
#86525
This troper usually speaks very quickly, but when he is talking in class sometimes he can be completely incomprehensible.
#86526
This one mixes fast speech with so-called "big" or "SAT-only" words in presentations, which leaves one half of an audience terribly confused and the other half amused at the first half. At least this one gives a warning that he talks fast.
#86527
When giving a presentation to the class, this troper has been known to speak in what can only be described as a Dr. Cox rant with a liberal amount of Buffy speak mixed in.
#86528
This troper occasionally wanders into this trope (her tendency towards SesquipedalianLoquaciousness does not help), especially after watching ''ZeroPunctuation'', but she once had a friend whose MotorMouth made her TheUnintelligible a lot of the time. "Uh-huh" is a useful response when you have no idea what was just said to you, although this troper occasionally wondered if she was going to wind up agreeing to something she wasn't keen on doing. Also, a recent quote... #QUOTE# '''Troper's Mom:''' You need ''spaces'' between your words!
#86529
This troper's cousins. And guess what? They're from Irapuato, Mexico, a place where Motor Mouth is the regional accent. ''Zing!''
#86530
And he also feels like Canadian French is basically Motor Mouth French. "Pouvez-vous me donner du fromage et du saucisson, s'il vous plaît?", for example, becomes "Pouvouzm'donndufroma etpisleduscisson silvouplaitl� ?".
#86531
This troper tends to go into Motor Mouth mode after talking for a little while. What makes it worse is that I tend to slur when I do this, and correct my self, still keeping my voice at a steady 120 bpm.
#86532
This troper falls into this often. He often has to repeat himself, and its especially bad whenever he has "verbal car-wreck" and stutters for what seems like a few hours.
#86533
This troper is the only person in the world able to decipher his sister's motor mouth mode, and vice versa. Coupled with an amazingly compatible sense of humour and mindset, allowing us to set up hooks knowing that the other will take it up and taking the other person's speech and running with it, our reunions are truly epic. Sadly, it all rubs off with time. "That is so incredibly dumb. I'd've said the same."
#86534
This troper speaks faster when she's nervous or on a particularly lengthy tangent, and with that she also slips on her words a lot more. See TroperTales/PorkyPigPronunciation
#86535
This troper is consistently annoyed and confused by the number of times he has to repeat himself to classmates and interlocutors, because the speed he considers to be 'normal' apparently is 'bloody fast' to others.
#86536
This troper is often told by...well, ''everybody'', that she needs to slow down when she's saying something. Usually her problem is that her brain is moving too fast for her mouth to keep up, or else she's hyper or nervous.
#86537
This troper is a MotorMouth that stuns and surprises most people with her verbal skills and vocabulary. She believes this to be an occurrence of BlessedWithSuck, however, as her brain often outruns her mouth. She tends to get caught up in her own ranting sometimes, until those points where she just randomly stops speaking mid-sentence. Imagine speaking about 100 words a minute, while your brain is going about 700.
#86538
Also, This lady.
#86539
I see your individual and group experiences and raise a whole ''nationality'' of motor mouths. Chileans are known for being almost incomprehensible to those that know standard Spanish due to heavy use of local variations and quick speech. (I heard it's why there's so few Chilean news anchors in the international scene...). Of course, some speak even faster... (Me, for example)
#86540
I am Chilean and half the time people don't understand me because I speak too fast,have poor enunciation or both.
#86541
{{Dexter}} claims in one book that Cubans are very hard for speakers of standard Spanish to understand due to speed and a tendency to drop consonants. Can someone with a better knowledge of the subject than I have confirm or refute this?
#86542
In a class in my (Chilean) University we were joined for a semester by an exchange student from Perú. She commented that she had quite a hard time trying to understand our language, at least the first days. Mind you, Spanish is the official language of both Perú and Chile, and not only that, we are neighbor countries. According to her, most of the difficulty was in how fast we speak. The remaining component was the heavy use of local constructions and the swearing. Oh God, the swearing.
#86543
I'm Chilean and I'm often told I have a motor mouth plus poor diction and pronunciation problems, so understanding me isn't particularly easy .plus despite living here my entire life, I have a strange accent,like I've lived abroad. strangely, I'm better in English.
#86544
When This Troper gets excited, he tends to forget words, and forgets more when talking faster. e.g Heyheyheyguesswhat?Huhguesswhat?Thethingwiththethingworkedwiththethingandthething. I've actually said that.
#86545
This troper has teased his friend as an "amateur MotorMouth". Why? In the middle of one of her rants, she stopped to ''breathe''.
#86546
This troper is more than able to recite End of the World and One Week from memory, though there are issues with oxygen management... also, when the BerserkButton is hit due to someone saying something really stupid, he can go for a full minute, without breath, rambling extremely quickly about why they FailAtLogic. Also, be careful asking him about specific ZeroPunctuation reviews or sections from HitchHikersGuideToTheGalaxy (although that isn't said as quickly)
#86547
In this troper's comedy club, he is renowned for playing a MotorMouth for laughs.
#86548
This troper's been like this for as long as she can remember. It gets worse when she's reading from something, due to her being a speed reader as well. She's gotten faster with age, to the point where she's started tripping over her words because her mouth muscles can't match the pace of her train of thought. It's not without its perks, though--she was crowned "Queen of the Tongue Twisters" in elementary school, and was able to get certain solos in Chorus because ''no one else could sing that fast''.
#86549
Recently this troper has gotten comments like "Slow down!" from her parents, because apparently she speaks VERY fast, especially when excited. It's gotten to the point where she and her friends speak so amazingly quick that no one else is able to follow their conversations.
#86550
When she and her classmates had to do a 'radio program' for a project, they had to create a commercial as well. She had to do the closer speech (you know, the one about dangers and fine print) because she was the only one who could speak fast enough.
#86551
This troper has a habit of doing this when excited. Unfortunately, she has to think about what she says before she speaks and usually ends up going at superspeed for about 10 seconds before getting hopeless tongue-tied and ending her rant with 'bugger it I can't talk today'
#86552
Odd variant with this troper. Her thought process runs so fast she can barely keep up with it verbally. She will speak very fast and verbosely...and then stop speaking mid-sentence all of a sudden, sometimes for up to two minutes. She also forgets what it was she was thinking and saying sometimes.
#86553
This troper gets short-tempered with motormouths, especially if they interrupt. Once I was interrupted just as I was finishing a statement, and turned around and cut him off right back, "Say, before you go stepping on my lines again, did you notice how my anecdotes are ''brief'', and come to a ''point''?" That shut him up for the rest of the party.
#86554
This troper + MotorMouth + weird accent + attempts to replace weird accent with foreign one (not kidding) + CloudCuckoolander = wtf!?
#86555
This troper has a bad habit of doing this, as well as the majority of her friends (Birds of a feather and all that...). It even pops up when she's ''writing by hand'', her print is really small and messy because she tries to do it too fast.
#86556
On grad night, this troper and her friends decided it would be fun to take the bus to the afterparty. While waiting at the stop, she and her best friend struck up a conversation with one of the people waiting there - a young man smoking an, er, unusually pungent cigarette. The best friend launched into an anecdote of something that had happened during the dance, and when it was over there was a long pause from the young man, who then said, "You talk faster than anyone I have ever met."
#86557
This university student troper thinks it's a good way to pass exams if you haven't the best knowledge. Just motormouth everythink you know about the subject and some random technobabble/gobbledygook/whatever (depends on subject, is it technical or humanitarian), and the professor will think you know the subject.
#86558
This Troper has a tendenacy to start talking for long stretchs and as a result, will speed up to the point that other people have a very hard time understanding.
#86559
This troper has a massive motor mouth. Get me going on a subject, any subject, that I know something about, and you'd be hard pressed to understand what I'm saying. I often garble words or lapse into BuffySpeak because of this. And my mind runs about thirty times faster.
#86560
This troper has a strange speech pattern that involves this...except sometimes I suddenly stop mid-sentence so my mouth can register the next chunk of info from my brain.
#86561
For this troper, it become so bad that he had to see a speech therapist to help with it (granted, it wasn't just because of this trope, but it was the largest contributor) - it extends into his writing and typing, too; while the speech therapy helped the other problems, this one has become dominate and causes another problem. The troper above who said that "...speaking about 100 words a minute, while your brain is going about 700" has my sympathy, and seems to have a similar problem.
#86562
This troper's friend talks almost incomprehensibly fast (accompanied by excited... hand... flapping...) whenever she explains the obscure scientific terms she brings up in daily conversation.
#86563
This Troper is one, and also speaks with bizarre hand movements, when she is excited or nervous...well, actually, it's just most of the time. Her mind works faster, however, and so she often jumbles words and meanings, and often ends up explaining things with not very precise adjectives. Like timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly stuff.
#86564
I talk very fast, using overly long words, very loudly and with my incomprehensible accent (to people who don't know me). Due to this people just nod and laugh weakly when I try to tell jokes.
#86565
This troper apparently does it whenever he orders food. Anywhere. It is not a good habit.
#86566
This trope never is able to finish a sentence without someone going slow down. Her teacher even said she's the fastest motor mouth she's met.
#86567
A friend of this troper was once told that he'd improved a lot in the last year. But, he needed to slow down when he talked. This troper couldn't make another thing than laugh at him.
#86568
This troper was recently diagnosed with ADD, and now takes medication that notably improves his performance. . .with motormouthing as a side effect. Not because he has more energy, but because the increased mental focus means "more trains of thought reach their stations" and he thus has alot more to say. The effect this had on his speech (When combined with an existing tendency to rush through sentences) didn't fully register until he recorded himself speaking and played it back.
#86569
I am well known for writing colossal walls of text on the Internet when I really shouldn't, much to the frustration of my cohorts who believe that I could easily abridge all my information but I instead choose not to leave out a single word that might possibly describe the current situation. And usually, whenever I try to explain this unfortunate habit I end up creating yet another wall of text, only creating much more frustration, especially since my explanation is extremely overacted and feels like I forced it out for the sole purpose of creating humour, but I could just as easily apologize rather than create yet another wall of text in the process. I have attempted to control this bad habit, but I still find myself slipping into it sometimes as I feel that no small tidbit can be left out, since if you leave one out you could end up creating an incomprehensible trainwreck, much like any dialogue I write on the Internet or even written down in real life. It is especially annoying in those chat rooms with very narrow margins, because a normally-short message ends up becoming a huge block that most people are too impatient to read fully. And for that, I fully apologize.
#86570
This troper, while often speaking quickly when excited, usually avoids this by enunciating clearly. However, in her wrst rabid-fangirl moments (very rare, like... once every few months, tops), she'll go off #QUOTE# Me: "EeeheeheesocuteandangryandwhyisitthatthesexiestvoicesallbelongtocharactersIcan'tshipbecausethey're{{Asexual}}ortakenandohmygodKurogane'sEvil Laughisthesexiestthingever..."
#86571
This troper was told by her teacher that she's a MotorMouth because her brain works faster than everyone else in the class (an advanced lab science class). It sometimes overlaps with SesquipedalianLoquaciousness, and has a tendency to show up in her writing by only adding commas where she thinks is necessary (as in not after every 'too' that means 'also').
#86572
This Troper is a pretty, PRETTY bad case of this. ''Heavily'' coupled with SesquipedalianLoquaciousness, just to make it even worse.
#86573
This troper inherited her grandmother's amazing Motor Mouth ability, but whereas her grandmother is understandable, this troper unfortunately ends up either stuttering or not understood. Attempts at being a Deadpan Snarker are immediately negated by these.
#86574
A few weeks ago I was enthusing to my friend about something, probably video game related. He was just smiling and nodding, until another friend turns to him and asks "can you actually understand anything he's saying?". Answer: "nope".
#86575
This troper does this all the time, much to the frustration of her mother and the bafflement of her friends. Once at school, we were doing a teach-the-class unit, and this troper was several minutes into her lesson when the teacher asked her to slow down a little. ''Every student in the class'' breathed an audible sigh of relief, and this now furiously-blushing troper continued at a slightly more reasonable pace.
#86576
Tropers/{{Excel-2010}}. I won a "Fastest Talker" award in middle school. I was the only one nominated.
#86577
This Troper has done this her entire life and it frustrates her friends and family alike. She almost always gets asked to repeat what she says and often speaks so fast she trips over her own words^_^
#86578
This troper was speaking at a meeting as time was quickly running out. Afterwards, he was formally congratulated for breaking the rate of speech record of the assembly.
#86579
This troper often becomes this when he's bored.
#86580
Tropers/SunnyV tends to lapse into this around her {{nakama}}. It helps that they do this too.
#86581
This Troper ''can'' do this, but he has to prepare something in advance or he'll start talking faster than he can think of things to say.
#86582
ThisTropes is usually quiet, but when she opens her mouth, shutting her up is hard.
#86583
This Troper has to constantly remind himself to speak slowly. Otherwise he'll talk so fast that he'll be rather unintelligible. Especially when he's excited or when he's talking himself through a complicated instruction or manual.
#86584
This troper was like that when he was younger but right now he has fallen into the opposite extreme: he has problems speaking normally because he thinks faster than he can speak, resulting in any attempts at non-slow speech coming out as gibberish. Also, he now gets the Motor Mouth treatment from his ''Calculus teacher'' which is NOT a good thing.
#86585
This troper, perhaps to make up for being such a shy, quiet child became this in adulthood. At least, so my parents say. Is it any wonder that my favorite LooneyTunes character is Foghorn Leghorn?
#86586
Another example in my life is my youngest brother. The kid is always on, I swear.
#86587
I really do this. When told to talk slower, I reply with "listen faster."
#86588
This troper did not speak much when I was really young while my sister was holding full conversations when she was 1 (I think I said my first sentence when I was 2). Now, whenever the two of us are in conversation, she rarely gets a word in edgeways. However, although I rarely fall into this by accident, I've been able to read things out loud at a pace (and sometimes volume) that has raised eye brows in shock.
#86589
Me, when I'm on a Series/DoctorWho high.
#86590
This tropette ''breathes'' this trope. When confronted with this, I reply with "Well, I guess you should listen faster." I also get told I talk like a Spanish or Japanese person.
#86591
I have always been a motor mouth though usually it was when I was younger when I always had to be told to slow down coz even though my family could understand me no one else could. But as such it means that now ten years later I have a knack for singing really fast songs like "Modern Major General". {Unfortunately there seems to not be a motor mouthed female role in theatre.}
#86592
The speed of this troper's speech increases dramatically when she is distressed, frustrated, or freaking out about something.
#86593
This troper actually has a sort-of-dream of performing ''Modern Major General'' at his high school's talent show, mostly to see the look on the audience's faces if I do it successfully.
#86594
I have ADHD, so I often talk quickly in order to finish the thought before I get distracted, added to the extreme hyperactivity and a rather high lung capasity means I talk ''really'' quickly.
