A chinwagger is someone who can't stop talking, especially about other people's business. This classic British informal term refers to the kind of person who turns every conversation into a gossip session — the one at the office who knows everyone's drama before it even happens. If you're the chinwagger in your friend group, you're basically a walking news ticker. Rooted in the phrase 'chinwag,' meaning a chat or gossip session, the '-er' suffix turns it into the person doing the wagging.
