Definition
交口 is a verb-object compound (离合词) meaning 'to converse, to chat'. It can be split like other separable verbs (e.g., 交了一次口 'had a chat once'). It is also used as an adverb meaning 'unanimously, in unison' in fixed phrases like 交口称赞 ('to praise unanimously'), but that usage is not covered by the v.o. POS.
