What is another word for talkfests?
Pronunciation: [tˈɔːkfəsts] (IPA) 
Talkfests, also known as gabfests, chinwags, or jawboning sessions, are characterized by endless talking without much action or progress. Other synonyms for this term include blabbermouths, chatty Cathys, yakkers, and windbags. These words describe individuals who love to talk endlessly without much regard for listeners or the purpose of the conversation. Whether in a meeting, during a phone call, or in casual conversation, these individuals seem to talk for the sake of hearing themselves speak. While talkfests can be entertaining, they can also be frustrating to those who are genuinely interested in getting things done. Finding ways to cut through the chatter can be a challenge, but it is necessary to achieve effective communication.
