The word "yapping" comes from the word "yap." This word has an imitative origin. Around the 16th-17th century, it was used to describe the sound of a small dog's sharp bark or yelp. Later, around the 18th-19th century, it developed to describe someone who talks a lot without making any sense. Offensiveness: 2/7 - not offensive, it is used jokingly to mean "talking too much." But sometimes, some people may feel bad. It depends on who you're talking to. You need to know whether people will understand the joke or not.
