What does TALKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Containing an excessive amount of talk or dialogue, especially in a play, film or book, at the expense of action.
Critics use talky to describe works where characters spend long stretches speaking with little happening on screen or on stage, and the word usually implies that the pacing suffers as a result. A talky script can still be intelligent and well written, but reviewers reach for talky when dialogue crowds out momentum or visual interest. The term can also describe a person who talks a great deal, though the entertainment-review sense is the more common one today. It is almost always used as a mild criticism rather than as neutral description.
