Grammar detail: 〜まくる

My current mastery of this grammar point:

Grammar games:
verb stem + まくる
do something intensely, fiercely, fully, totally etc
On its own, the verb まくる generally means 'turn inside out', and is used for example to describe rolling up ones sleeves. When appended to the stem of a verb, it invokes a sense of doing something frantically and excessively - almost to the point of turning oneself inside out by doing it.
Some common verb combinations include:
するdoしまくるdo (something) to excess
eat to excess, gobble, pig out
drink too much
見つめるlook at見つめまくるstare fixedly
しゃべるtalkしゃべりまくるblather on about, talk to death
あせるbe flusteredあせりまくるpanic
Notice how in each case, the English translation is quite vivid and colloquial, and the Japanese conveys an equivalent sense.

Her continuous chatter vexes me.
Historically まくる was written as
る, but since 捲 is a Jinmeiyo kanji rather than a Joyo, this is increasingly uncommon. Note that the right side of 捲 exists in a slightly different form as the Joyo kanji 巻, to roll up.
