Sputter


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To spit, or to emit saliva from the mouth in small, scattered portions, as in rapid speaking.
  • (v. i.) To utter words hastily and indistinctly; to speak so rapidly as to emit saliva.
  • (v. i.) To throw out anything, as little jets of steam, with a noise like that made by one sputtering.
  • (v. t.) To spit out hastily by quick, successive efforts, with a spluttering sound; to utter hastily and confusedly, without control over the organs of speech.
  • (n.) Moist matter thrown out in small detached particles; also, confused and hasty speech.

Example Sentences:
