SPLUTTERS Meaning and
Definition
-
Splutters is a verb that refers to the act of making a series of erratic, explosive sounds while speaking or making some other form of noise. It is often accompanied by the emission of small, intermittent bursts of air or liquid. When someone splutters, their speech or utterances are delivered in a rapid and disjointed manner, typically due to surprise, agitation, or anxiety. This vocalization is characterized by an inability to control the steady flow of words or sounds, resulting in a sputtering effect.
Splutters can also describe the irregular and forceful emission of liquid or small particles, such as droplets or tiny grains. This action often occurs when liquids are disturbed or agitated, leading to their release in sporadic bursts rather than a continuous stream or spray. For example, a boiling liquid might splutter and create small, volatile bubbles that burst and eject small droplets of liquid.
Overall, splutters can be understood as an unsteady and convulsive expression of sounds or an erratic discharge of liquids or particles. The term implies an inability to maintain a smooth and controlled flow, usually due to surprise, agitation, or the presence of disruptive forces.
