I've got five grandkids. They play baseball, they play football, they play basketball. I go to all the games. You always have that urge to say something when you're watching them. But I've learned to keep it to myself. I've blurted out some things and embarrassed myself.

American Entertainer

American Actor

I'm on the air five hours, and I blurt out anything in my head. Dangerous? Maybe.

Katherine Heigl

I'm realising now that I can't just blurt things out.

Blurt often describes an uncontrollable emotional reaction, not planned or calm.

 I recently asked my boyfriend, "What's the name of that famous surfer? Lance? No, it's not Lance." He knew who I was talking about, but he couldn't come up with it either. We were both stumped. And turns out my blurting out the wrong name
