sialoquent
Sep. 2nd, 2016 07:53 amsialoquent (sai-AL-uh-kwint) - adj., spraying saliva while talking.
Not common, but ought to be. Apparently coined by Thomas Blount in his 1656 dictionary, Glossographia, combining sialic (from Ancient Greek síalon, spittle/saliva) + eloquent (from Latin eloquens, present participle of eloqui, to speak out/have the facility of speech). Yes, a Greek/Latin crossbreed -- deal with it.
