  Logorrhoea Information
The spoken form of logorrhoea (in the non-medical sense) is a kind of verbosity that uses superfluous or fancy words to disguise a useless or simple message as useful or intellectual, and is commonly known as "verbal diarrhoea".
Logorrhoea is a language disorder present in a variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders including aphasia[1], localised cortical lesions in the thalamus[2][3], or most typically in schizophrenia with catatonia.
Logorrhoea should not be confused with pressure of speech, which is characterised by the 'flighty' alternation from topic to topic by tenuous links such as rhyming or punning[4].

 Logorrhoea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Logorrhoea or logorrhea (Greek λογορροια, logorrhoia, “word-flux”) is defined as an “excessive flow of words” and, when used medically, refers to incoherent talkativeness that occurs in certain kinds of mental illness, such as mania.
The word logorrhoea is often used pejoratively to describe prose that is highly abstract and consequently contains little concrete language.
Use of additional words that are not strictly necessary, however, is often idiomatic, a matter of artistic preference, or helpful in explaining complex ideas or messages that might otherwise be unclear.

 Logorrhoea - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Logorrhoea or logorrhea (Greek λογορροια, logorrhoia, “word-short”) is the concise manner of expressing one or many opinions, or points of view, in a short, well defined manner.
It is also worth noting that verbosity or logorrhhoea can also mean the utilisation of script, cursive or otherwise to deftly and swiftly, express a summation or brief concatenation of descriptive passage.
Several automated processing implementations have been made that can generate dynamic, faithful, almost photostatic, representaitions resembling the styles of these fields but which are actually lacking in substantial or worthy matter.

 Indie911 :: Carla Bruni
Born in Turin, raised in Paris, she claims to have a playful relationship with the language of Voltaire, singing her infatuation with the "four consonants and three vowels" of her lover's name, Raphaël.
Le toi du moi is a lyrical logorrhoea of yin and yang between 'you' and 'me', while Le ciel dans une chambre is a bilingual franco-italian ballad that takes its time on each syllable.
Not only is Carla rhetorically aware, she is musically adept, having taught herself to play guitar by ear, and her voice is suavely raucous in that rebellious mature woman way one might expect of a 35-year-old ex-model.

 SPELLBOUND movie review, In Film Australia
The event is covered extensively in the media and the final round is broadcast ever year on ESPN.
The whole thing is taken so seriously that it’s a wonder the kids don’t take urine tests before strolling up to the podium to pronounce the spelling of words like “logorrhoea.” You can’t help but think most of the time: YOU POOR LITTLE BASTARDS.
But the heights of pressure these little tackers reach and the determination to succeed that most of them embody creates captivating viewing, and it’s from such an unlikely source that it makes for a completely refreshing change of focus.
