The opposite of this, where a character speaks in highly-calculated terms, is SpockSpeak. Often a symptom of an AmbiguousDisorder.

** In ''Film/The Mountain'', he plays a traveling doctor who performs lobotomies (the film is set in TheFifties). He has a normally-paced, outright soothing manner of speech most of the time. When he's off the clock, unwinding and hitting on women, the pace picks up a bit and there are verbal pauses, suggesting he might have ''been'' this trope but old age and going to seed slowed him down.

* The page quote references the fact that Creator/JeffGoldblum has this as his CharacteristicTrope, in part because he played the TropeCodifier. He's often a MotorMouth whether he's playing a scientist or not -- but when he ''is'' playing someone who works in the sciences it's virtually guaranteed. The first character of that type he played was the developer of an artificial heart in 1981's ''Threshold'', but the TropeCodifier is his StarMakingRole: Seth Brundle, the DoomedProtagonist of ''Film/TheFly1986'' -- a reclusive quantum physicist who has created teleportation technology. (This film also plays with the trope in that the character becomes even gabbier once he starts mutating into a HalfHumanHybrid of human and housefly.) Nowadays, it's easier to list significant roles in which he ''isn't'' this:
