Stuck on a Crossword? Crack the Code to Verbose Speech”.

Once upon a time, there was a man named Gus who loved to talk. He would go on and on about anything and everything, much to the annoyance of those around him. Despite their constant reminders to be more succinct, Gus could not help himself – he was just naturally inclined to be verbose.

One day, Gus went to the doctor for some trouble he was having with his digestion. The doctor ran some tests and discovered that Gus had an excess of gas in his stomach, which was causing all his discomfort. He prescribed some medication to relieve the gas, and soon Gus was feeling much better.

As it turned out, Gus’s love of talking had inadvertently earned him a new nickname among his friends – they began calling him Gassy, both because of his talkative nature and his recent stomach troubles. Despite some initial embarrassment, Gus grew to love the nickname and wore it with pride, embracing his reputation as someone who was never at a loss for words.

So, the next time you come across the crossword clue ‘Inclined to be verbose, informally,’ just think of ol’ Gus – or rather, Gassy – and his never-ending stream of conversation.
