If you call someone mouthy, you mean they talk a lot and they do not hold back — they say what they think, even when it is rude, sharp, or not the right moment. It often describes a person who talks back to a parent, a teacher, or a boss. The word is informal and it is usually not kind; it carries a little complaint. or outgoing is the nicer way to say someone talks a lot. Mouthy is about the edge in the talking. You will hear it more in spoken English than in careful writing. Though actually, it is about the mouth as “the way you speak,” not about the size or shape of anyone’s mouth.
愛頂嘴的；口沒遮攔的
組成mouth + -y. The ending -y turns a noun into an adjective (like messy from mess). Here it means “full of mouth” in the talking sense.
