Idiom Scenario 1
Two colleagues are talking ...
Colleague 1: Here comes Carla. You had better look like you are really busy, maybe even pick up the phone and pretend that you have a call. Otherwise she will come and talk yourhead off for half an hour.
Colleague 2: Carla does like to talk, especially about whatever project she is currently working on.
Colleague 1: Right. So if you don't want to be bored to death by a thirty-minute lecture on the benefits of one data analysis system over another, pretend to be busy.

Idiom Scenario 2
Two friends are talking ...
Friend 1: How's your little daughter doing? I know you told me the last time we spoke that she was quite a bit past the age where most kids start speaking.
Friend 2: I guess she was just developing in her own time because now she will talk your head off. She starts as soon as she wakes up and even when no one is around, she keeps on talking. She has conversations with her stuffed animals. It is quite cute really the way she goes on and on.
Friend 1: A real little motor-mouth, huh?
