Vituperative. It's such a good word too.

    Oh, that's good. A new one for me!

    From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:

  vituperative
      adj 1: marked by harshly abusive criticism; "his scathing
             remarks about silly lady novelists"; "her vituperative
             railing" [syn: {scathing}, {vituperative}]

    Isn't that a great word? I used to read a lot of Canadian classic literature and it was often in there.

    Also garrolous is a good word.
