Around here it means revealing information that probably shouldn't be disclosed. I have occasionally heard it used to mean speaking without expertise or firsthand knowledge. |

It's an old saying from intelligence circles. Revealing classified information to people without security clearances. And it IS a one-way ticket OUT of your unit.
Once again, the yuppies have taken over the term because they think it makes them sound important

I'm nearly 49 and I have used that phrase and heard it used many times over the years. But you know, sometimes I have been known to operate above my pay grade.

I use it when describing someone who revealed a confidence.
If I told you something in confidence, you blabbed it to someone else and it got back to me, I'd say you were talking out of school. And yea, I'm over 50. |

Wicked. I hereby resolve to use my newly aquired old man phrase with its secret squirrel implications at least twice a week until its fully reintroduced into the American vernacular.

Oh shit now my age is going to show!  Yep, original use of the phrase was predominately around disclosing a confidence but now primarrily since everything in school is so open the phrase is used to express not knowing what you are talking about. It's kind of shifted a tad over the years of course totally dependent on where you live and the demographics of the area.This is one OF that doesn't use the phrase anymore. Better just to strike at the heart and be done with it. Tj |

+1 eta: since everyone is posting their own similar phrases, I like to use the phrase "diarrhea of the mouth" |

I've heard it for most of my life, but it is not commonly used in Texas.
Mostly in the Northeast, from what I've seen. 'Shooting your mouth off' is the Texas equivalent to a degree, I would suppose. Eric The(Or'RunningYourMouth')Hun

Yes, "running off at the mouth" I have used and heard on many occasions.

Yes.
Roughly translated, "That's your ass talking 'cause your mouth knows better!" Semper Fi! |

I've heard it as well, it's kind of like saying, "This guy on my airsoft team says the SEALS..." and then it goes on from there.

"Northeast" Texas or N.E. USA???? I've heard my grandparents use the phrase & they're from central Arkansas. Grandad is almost a dead ringer for Delmar ("O' Brother Where Art Thou") in his speech pattern & phraseology. |
