<p>^ I think its viability is well demonstrated by “garrulous” being defined as wordy and “explicit” being defined as clear.</p>
<p>Wordy can also be clear. It is just not concise. Explicit, on the other hand, refers strictly to clarity and openness of expression, language or thought, not to shortness and conciseness of the above.</p>
<p>“Wordy can also be clear.”</p>
<p>Yes, which is why I would choose “euphemism.” But the fact that “wordy” can and often does mean unclear makes “garrulousness” also viable.</p>
<p>i thought we were done with this…</p>
<p>Wordy</p>
<ol>
<li> characterized by or given to the use of many, or too many, words; verbose: She grew impatient at his wordy reply. </li>
<li> pertaining to or consisting of words; verbal.</li>
</ol>
<p>Nuff said.</p>
