Jazgarka

A jazgarka is a term used in some dialects of Polish, primarily in rural areas, to refer to a loud, talkative, and often gossipy woman. The term carries a generally negative connotation, suggesting that the woman's speech is excessive, irritating, or even malicious. The word emphasizes the act of incessant chatter rather than the content of the speech itself, though the content is often perceived as critical or scandalous.

The term is considered informal and somewhat derogatory. While it may be used humorously in some contexts, it generally implies a lack of respect for the individual being described. The etymology of the word is linked to the verb jazgotać, which means to chatter or babble noisily. Its usage is declining in modern, urban Polish.
