Klebenleiben - A pathological reluctance to stop talking about a given subject.
Public radio is so educational. And so many of the words I learn there apply to me.

"So, Leta, is it difficult to live your life so that whenever you need to illustrate a point, you have an anecdote from your personal experience?" No, not really.
"On a break" is community theater for "spend more time with my family" which is politics for "unemployed." (Leta)
"If you want to help the American theater, don't be a performer -- be an audience." (Tallulah Bankhead)

I think you're looking for Klebenlieben, which Babelfish translates as "sticking love."
Nope, I don't. The defition I heard on public radio (and the spelling) match what I found on the net, which is probably where the "Says You" producers found it as well. It ain't the OED, I admit.
