What is he saying?
Lately, to practice listening to Russian, I've been watching a lot of old Russian cartoons. I was watching this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ8Dm945e_4) and I can't tell what Russian word the dog is saying at 2:31. The subtitles say it translates to "blabbermouth", but I can't find it in any dictionary. Could someone help me?

Question

Answer

Hello, Ashley! Nice cartoon! :)
"Балаболка" - chatterer, blabber. This word is used in the informal speech with a little scorn and little reproach. So you scould say this word to the person talking much and saying unnecessary things. You may also use this word addressing to a person who promises and doesn't do anything. Sometimes in informal speach addressing to man, we also may say: "балабол".

Answer

"балаболка" значит... то, кто много болтает.

болтать..... to babble, chatter,
