Belabor

Belabor

<bee-lay-bor>

rehash; repeat; over explain;

to say something in a long and boring way.

She will always belabor her story. She will not stop talking.

Memory trick:
belabor reminds of labor
labor means work
we work too hard to listen

At work:
I belabor this because it is not resolved. We need to talk more.
