Hello all users!

In the heading, I have placed the definition of the verb "plowtalk".
What I am interested in is if speak over someone for the duration they are speaking means speak over someone for as long as they are speaking.

Thank you.
 
I have never heard of "plowtalk" and I can't find it in any dictionaries. Where did you find it?
 
I found it by accident on the Internet the other day.
 
In what context?
 
There is no context, just definition of "plowtalk".
 
The spelling (plow) suggests it's Am English. I'd never heard it either. In fact, when I saw the title I assumed it was a typo for pillowtalk. ;-)

Could you answer my basic question: does speak over someone for the duration they are speaking mean speak over someone for as long as they are speaking?
 
The Urban Dictionary definition is badly expressed; that sort of illiteracy goes with the territory. If the "word" is ever used, your definition would be better. Although, on reflection, I can't imagine what that sort of talking would involve. When you "talk over" someone, or "shout them down" {those idioms are better}, you talk/shout until they stop (which doesn't take as long as talking for the duration of anything).
