"Loudmouth" is an English slang term that appeared in the early 20th century, formed from "loud," referring to volume, and "mouth," symbolizing speech. It describes a person who is obnoxiously talkative, speaks loudly, and often does so without restraint, drawing attention in a disruptive or irritating way. The term is used in informal speech across English-speaking countries, often critically or humorously, and is mildly to moderately derogatory, targeting behavior rather than inherent character.

It is used to describe someone who gives information about other people and their crimes or wrongdoings to the police or authorities, often considered even worse than a "snitch" in some subcultures. People typically call someone a "rat" as a severe insult, implying disloyalty, cowardice, and worthlessness, with the term carrying an especially heavy stigma in prison culture where rats may face violence. The term originated in early 20th century American criminal slang, drawing from the rat's reputation as a sneaky, untrustworthy creature, and remains common in hip hop lyrics, gang culture, and crime fiction.
