wax-poetic

To "wax poetic" means to become increasingly verbose and romantic in speech. To become more and more like a poem.

"Wax" = increase, "wane" = decrease.

It has nothing to do with vinyl records and bullshit hip-hop, "yo."

"Not to wax-poetic, but your eyes glimmer like the ocean on a summer evening..."
