Vituperative. It's such a good word too.
- Oh, that's good. A new one for me!
  
  From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]: vituperative adj 1: marked by harshly abusive criticism; "his scathing remarks about silly lady novelists"; "her vituperative railing" [syn: {scathing}, {vituperative}]
  
  Isn't that a great word? I used to read a lot of Canadian classic literature and it was often in there.
  
  Also garrolous is a good word.
