It means that you can talk yourself out of any situation. Judging from your spelling be thankful.

You are lucky if you have the gift of the gab. I haven't - even though i've kissed the Blarney Stone!
Gift of the gab means you can talk to anyone about anything! and also use your talent to wiggle out of difficult situations, and charm the birds out of the trees!

It actually comes from Ireland where people learn to wax lyrically

It means you are never at a loss for words and know the answer to everything. It's not always meant as a compliment.

To talk socially without exchanging too much information. This can be extremely useful in many instances.

Do I hear someone talking about me again? I've talked my way out of many a sticky situation before, & am also VERY talkative.

It means that you never shut up! I have the same affliction - the only time it's a bonus is when no-one else wants to speak!!!

It means you talk a lot, I talk a lot too and my mom used to say I could talk the hind legs off a donkey.

It means you are clever with your words. You could sell ice to the eskimo's because you could talk them in to it. My mate has got it big time. It's a good attribute to have.

no, but I wish I had. Always thought that it referred to someone who could wangle themselves into or out of situations with ease AND with the desired outcome in the end.
