talky-talkyn.adj.

Brit.

/ˌtɔːkɪˈtɔːki/, U.S.

/ˌtɔkiˈtɔki/,

/ˌtɑkiˈtɑki/

Forms: 1800s talkèe talkèe, 1800s talkie talkie, 1800s– talkee-talkee, 1800s– talky-talky.

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymon: talky adj.

Etymology: Apparently a reduplication of talky adj. (although this is first attested slightly later), apparently chiefly intended as a representation of childish speech. Compare earlier talkee-talkee n.

depreciative.

A. n.

1. Small talk; childish, foolish, or inconsequential talk; continuous chatter or prattle. Also as a count noun: an instance of small talk, an inconsequential conversation. Now somewhat rare.Quot. 1812 may perhaps show a distinct formation, intended to echo English-based pidgins or creoles; compare quot. 1809 at talkee n.¹, from a text by Edgeworth’s father. It is possible that some other uses also show a similar motivation.

2009 Weekly Standard (Nexis) 28 Sept. His commitment to ‘getting things done’ and ‘crossing the aisle’ were the two qualities that our talky-talkies mentioned incessantly after his death.

B. adj.
