What it means
A yapper is someone who talks and talks and talks, a relentless chatterbox who fills every silence whether or not anyone is actually listening. Said with affection or with exasperation, it is all about the non-stop mouth.
Usage examples
"My little cousin is such a yapper, he narrated the whole car journey."
"Put two yappers at the same table and dinner runs three hours."
Where it comes from
From yap, the sharp non-stop bark of a small excitable dog. A yapper is a person doing exactly that with words, yapping away without ever pausing for breath.
