spout
spout: see spit
spout (v.)

Meaning "to talk, declaim" is recorded from 1610s. Related: Spouted; spouting.
spout (n.)
late 14c., from spout (v.). Cognate with Middle Dutch spoit, North Frisian spütj. It was the slang term for the lift in a pawnbroker's shop, the device which took up articles for storage, hence figurative phrase up the spout "lost, hopeless, gone beyond recall" (1812).
