"Vaccinated with a Victrola needle" = tiêm chủng bằng kim Victrola -> nghĩa là nói luyên thuyên/không ngừng nghỉ. Đề cập tới chiếc kim chơi trên đĩa Victrola (thương hiệu huyền thoại về âm thanh), và chiếc kim từng được dùng để tiêm vaccine phòng ngừa các bệnh lây nhiễm.

Ví dụ
Waller is a loquacious (nói nhiều, ba loa) lady; her late husband liked to joke that she was vaccinated with a Victrola needle. A booster shot may be in order.

Very talkative (lắm chuyện), someone might ask if he had been “vaccinated with a Victrola needle?” A personable young man, he went out of his way to honor service members and military veterans (cựu chiến binh quân đội) and thank them for their service. He frequently sought out Pease Air Force members when he was out shopping locally.

“My Great Uncle Paul Pickering lived in Kansas City and worked for the Kansas City Star for years. When Paul would run across someone who talked to excess, he would surmise (phỏng đoán) that when they were a baby, they had been vaccinated with a Victrola needle,” the Missouri Republican wrote. “When I met Chris Collins, the first thing I thought of was Uncle Paul. I thought Paul would have said, ‘this guy must have been vaccinated with a Victrola needle.’ It was like he had Tourette Syndrome minus the cuss (chửi rủa) words.”
