In Brazil, excessive commentary is often viewed as verbose or lacking conciseness, particularly in professional settings where directness is valued. In the USA, particularly in NYC, such behavior might be casually dismissed with expressions like 'word vomit' or 'running your mouth.' Both cultures appreciate brevity and clarity in communication, making excessive commentary a commonly criticized communication habit in business, sports commentary, and educational contexts.
