mouthy

It's probably a typo. They mean "mouthy", who talks a lot, in Spanish "hablador", supongo.

charlatán, bocazas, mal hablado

¿No será un typo de MOUTHY? Si es así creo, que charlatán, bocazas, mal hablado... podría ser el adjetivo.

Entry from OED Online
full monty, n. (and a.) DRAFT ENTRY June 2001
slang (orig. and chiefly Brit.).

Forms: 19- Full Monty, full Monty, full monty. [< FULL a. + monty (origin unknown).
Many theories are proposed as to the origin of this phrase, but none of them is supported by reliable historical evidence. Perh. the most plausible is that it is from a colloquial shortening of the name of Montague Maurice Burton (1885-1952), men's tailor, and referred originally to the purchase of a complete three-piece suit. Also popular but unsubstantiated is the belief that the phrase is somehow derived from Monty, the nickname of Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery (1887-1976). However, the sheer variety of often vague, purely anecdotal, and mutually contradictory explanations for the connection—ranging from his wartime briefing style to his breakfasting habits—renders this less credible. Other suggestions, including references to MONTY n. and MONTE n.1, are still more speculative.]
