What do you call a person who talks nonsense?

There are many ways to describe someone who talks nonsense, depending on the context and the specific type of nonsense they're talking. Here are a few options:

Neutral:

* Rambler: Someone who goes off on tangents and talks in a rambling, incoherent way.

* Chatterbox: Someone who talks excessively, often without saying anything meaningful.

* Blabbermouth: Someone who talks too much and reveals secrets or gossip.

* Windbag: Someone who talks at length about things that are unimportant or uninteresting.

* Motormouth: Someone who talks very quickly and nonstop.

Negative:

* Babbler: Someone who talks in a foolish or senseless way.

* Prattle: Someone who talks childishly or nonsensically.

* Nutter: Someone who talks or behaves in a crazy or irrational way.

* Loony: Similar to "nutter," but often used in a humorous way.

* Crackpot: Someone who holds strange or eccentric beliefs.

* Lunatic: Someone who is mentally deranged or insane. (This term can be offensive and is not always accurate.)

Other:

* Philosopher: This can be a playful way to describe someone who talks a lot but doesn't make much sense.

* Dreamer: Someone who is detached from reality and talks about unrealistic or fantastical things.

The best word to use will depend on the specific situation and your relationship with the person.
