the derogratory form of talkative
I have some words to express the derogratory form of talkative. I'd like to ask if all of them are used correctly.
(1)wordy
you are wordy/ you are a wordy guy.
this article is wordy.
(2)windy or long-winded
you are too windy or long-winded. you are a windy or long-winded guy.
this article is windy or long-winded.
--------------
Can you tell me the way you talk about "derogratory form", I dont think it sounds natural, so how would you say it?
Thanks a lot for your helps!

"Derogatory form" is a good description of what you want. You could also say "negative form" or "the way to say XXX with a negative connotation"
"Wordy" isn't used to describe people, but the writing itself. It isn't used with talking. It's a bit negative, but not too much.
"Long winded" is for the person and their speech. It is negative and I think what you are looking for.
