Yes; it's the Steve Urkel of PerlMonks: an annoying combination of stupid catchphrases the writers consider popular yet have to invent ever more ridiculous situations to include. It's noise. It's repetitive. It adds nothing to the discussion. I can't block your pointless logorrhea without ignoring all of your posts.

(additional emphasis added by me.)

Ok, one last reply: (for I would have /msg'd instead, but it just wouldn't fit...) I accept everything you say, but it's simply not fair - wrt the emphasized points above:

  1. in my case, it's one (stupid) catchphrase; far from being a "combination" whatever that may mean;
  2. it doesn't subtract anything either; if I can cast what I want to say (anyway) in "IPB form" then I do, else I pass on;
  3. dict(1) tells me: 
    1 definition found

From WordNet (r) 1.6 [wn]:

  logorrhea
       n : pathologically excessive (and often incoherent) talking
           [syn: {logomania}]
lines 1-7/7 (END)

    Whoa! Excessive! If only I take as an example the last post I did the damn thing, it's 582 bytes (rendered, transformed in plain text, .sig excluded) of which the catchphrase takes 20. To me, that's about 3% of the total, and we're talking about an exceedingly short post. You must have a fairly strange notion of the word "excessive..."

I get back to oblivion now!
