Garrulous
Garrulous
1 : given to prosy, rambling, or tedious loquacity : pointlessly or annoyingly talkative
2 : wordy
His garrulous nature made me reluctant to answer the phone when he called.
The entire Senate fell into a deep slumber as the Senator from Idaho continued his unrelenting, garrulous diatribe on the evils of cow tipping.
Using the word garrulous is, in fact, garrulous.
The garrulous woman called me a cheauvinist proponent of a patriarchal society, but I thought it would have had more force just to call me a dick.
There is a certain someone that whenever I am in their company their garrulous manner makes me wish I had duck tape to apply to the hole that the words are coming forthwith.

Haggard
Haggard:
a. Appearing worn and exhausted; gaunt.
b. Wild or distraught in appearance.
After 87 years, 16 children, 3 husbands, and a cattle ranch, is it any wonder the old woman looks haggard?
After wild search for our lost dog, the quart of demon rum, and myriad importunate questions, we were an ill-looking, haggard crew not fit company for man or beast.
As old as he is, Merle sure is looking haggard!
Thomas and I played Final Fight, and while I'm good with Cody, Thomas really Haggar'd the enemy.
"This is the best part of my job," he thought as he shined his flashlight through the window of the parked car onto the half-dressed and haggard individuals within.
When I view myself in the mirror in the AM my appearance is truly haggard until I have completed my transformation into a functioning human being for the world to see.
Amy Winehouse looks emaciated and haggard.
When Ted Haggard's "secret" came out, he was looking very haggard.

You would think that the preponderance of complaints by employees involving one supervisor would negate a change in their position.
THE PREPONDERANCE OF EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT THOMAS IS GUILTY

She's addicted to me, but I know she's Quixotic
As they watched Don approach the windmill, they found his actions quite... befuddling.

Fetid (adj): having a heavy offensive smell
Putrid and fetid are synonyms.
There is a fetid aroma coming from the finance department...specifically the cube of one Larry Johnson.
Have a question first, when you say offensive, is Fetid worse than putrid?
I carried a fetid stench around with me for an hour after exiting the women's restroom, in which someone had sprayed the entire contents of a cheap perfume.
The young dyslexic man's office was right next to sewer construction, with quite the fited smell.
After going to the Candlebox show last night and sousing myself in beer, I woke up smelling so fetid that I took my first shower this year.
The fetid odor coming from his underoos clearly tells me that more practice is required.
Oh my god, Boba just Fetid right through his pants!
