Pauciloquent

Pau*cil"o*quent\, a. Uttering few words; brief in speech. [R.]

"In my estimation pauciloquists are brief in speech because they have little to say or they have so much to say they can't even imagine where to begin."

Can you say that loudly and slowly for me please? *lol*
Really, I swear I saw a word for it somewhere!

I love the 'hiss' in the middle of this, because isn't that just what you feel like doing when the other person doesn't understand you (whether from not speaking the same language or being deaf) no matter how much you raise your voice and enunciate?

I think I can say it, but don't know how on this site unless
using phonetic signs (for which I'd probably later be blasted
for using the wrong ones.)

You like the hiss sound because of your love of reptiles.

This words still has my vote on this thread.
