How differently? Please describe the obviousness I am missing, oh enlightened linguist:
Yapping: present participle of yap
Yap [verb, informal, often indicates a disapproving tone]: to talk continuously
Example: “I've just had my mother on the phone, yapping away for half an hour!”
> And in a way that is annoying enough to me to guarantee that I don't make it past that word
[makes mental note to increase use of the word “yapping” in future writing…]
