The rather more conventional construction is "the gift of the gab", rather than "gift of gab". Or you could opt for the Franglais version, but only if you happen to be a Violet Lilly Blossom.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Mostly because I don't speak spanish, and I love pissing people off

Does it work? I might give it a go, although I don't seem to need to put in much effort to get that effect.

Oh hell yes, you say it to a Mexican and watch them gabber away in spanish. Boy but I should remember the curses they use, the only word I ever pick up on is 'Maria'.

 Quote:"Gab" means, idle talk. Talk incessantly about trivial matters. Think of any preacher prattling on and on about his/her particular variant of god. That is a good enough example. 
Have you ever noticed that spanish, spoken by native spaniards, specially women, sounds a lot like arabic?
A bunch of chickens clucking sounds a lot like Arabic.
