In the US that'd be 'gabby' for a similar meaning, though rarely heard.

- arfar 11y agoI've definitely heard of someone having the "gift of the gab", meaning they speak convincingly (I think I've only heard it used to describe sales people though).
- dspillett 11y ago"gift of the gab" can be positive, meaning a confident successful communicator (and sometimes socialiser) though tone of voice can turn it negative, meaning someone who successfully communicates bullshit (got instance in a marketing context). Gobby is pretty much always negative, meaning loud, never shutting up, often also implying overly opinionated and/or obnoxious.
