To BS or not to BS, that is the question....

What would you do if someone told you that you were loquacious?

I was told this on a very recent date, and the thing I did was to ask her what it meant. Her definition was 'talkative', which at the time, I took to be quite a nice thing to say - my initial interpretation  was that she was saying I was easy to talk to , which I certainly felt ok about.

Afterwards at home, over a pint, I was mulling over the events of the date as you do, and out of sheer curiousity, I looked the word up in the MS Word dictionary. The definition given there for loquacious was:

   'tending to talk a great deal'

which puts a completely different spin  on it, as I thought this was suggesting that I was talking a load of BS!

At the moment I am leaning towards the BS thoery, but that could just be the old post date paranoia. It is certainly food for thought though...
