SPOUTER Meaning and Definition

1. The term "spouter" refers to an individual or object that emits or produces a continuous stream or burst of liquid or gas forcefully and loudly. Derived from the verb "spout," which means the act of expelling or squirting liquid or gas forcefully in a steady stream, a spouter typically describes something that projects substances outwards with notable intensity.

   In a literal sense, a spouter may refer to a device or mechanism specifically designed to dispense liquids or gases in a forceful and consistent manner. For instance, a water spouter could be a decorative fountain or nozzle that sprays water into the air, while a gas spouter might describe a device used to release gas vapors in an industrial context.

   In a more figurative sense, a spouter can also describe a person who habitually speaks loudly and excessively, often without meaningful content or substance. This usage is commonly associated with individuals who talk incessantly, dominating conversations with their opinions or personal stories. Similarly, in certain contexts, "spouter" can be used to mockingly refer to someone who frequently makes grandiose or exaggerated claims, often without any evidence to support their assertions.

   Overall, "spouter" encompasses both the physical objects that emit substances in a forceful manner and the individuals who speak or proclaim with excessive volume or verbosity.

2. One who, or that which, spouts.
