Interject Conversation Interjections Interrupt Comment Remark Anger Growing

word interject
definition To interrupt a conversation with a comment or remark.
eg_sentence His anger was growing as he listened to the conversation, and every so often he would interject a crude comment.
explanation According to its Latin roots, interject ought to mean literally “throw between.” For most of the word's history, however, the only things that have been interjected have been comments dropped suddenly into a conversation. Interjections are often humorous, and sometimes even insulting, and the best interjections are so quick that the conversation isn't even interrupted
