i found in one of the dictionary that it is like someone talking unwisely. is it right?

However, in one of the dictionary it says that:


Lying for effect; Letting your mouth write checks that your ass can't cash.

The usual expression is 'You're talking out the back of your head', meaning 'You're talking nonsense'.

Interesting. This isn't usual for me. Where I grew up the expression was 'You're talking through your hat'. I have no idea of the origin, but I suspect it may be a 'politically incorrect' reference to Mormonism.
