Matthew 12:36 gives Jesus stating for us today, "I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement."
Proverbs 10:19 specifies for all verbose people, "In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin; but he that refrainethhis lips is wise."
As a positive tutorial instruction for those who think being silly and light is part of having new life in Christ, Titus quotes God by saying in Ch. 2 "Young Men, Old Men, Older Women, and Young Women" are to be "sober."
Jesus spoke concisely, to the point, and remained germaine to the intentions of The Father. Jesus never asked how anyone's day was going, never asked how anyone "felt," never made upbeat little excuses for anyone's little personality quirks, and never tried to fill in blank spots in a conversation with light little observations.
For those who think they "Have The Mind of Christ," here is Proverbs 29:11 (KJV) as a test to see if they actually do: "A fool uttereth all his mind."
