A bigmouth is a person who talks too much and cannot be trusted with a secret. Tell them something private and it will not stay private. The word is informal and a bit rude — you say it about someone, not to their face if you want to be kind. It sits with words like loudmouth: a large mouth as a picture for a person who will not keep quiet. Though actually some people also use it for a , someone who talks themselves up. The core picture is the same: a mouth that will not stay shut.
