Best Answer

"talk" TIL THE COWS COME HOME (or any other activity that can be long and drawn out) comes from the farming communities where everybody knows that the cows never come home unless you bring them - or send the dog to bring them home.

Talk til the cows come home, therefore means longwinded.

Is there a difference between the two words till and until?

Yes, there is a big difference in these 2 words:Till as a verb means to prepare land for planting.Till as a noun means a cash register or drawer for money, or sediment deposited by melting glaciers or ice sheets.Until is a preposition/conjunction used to mean up to the point in time or up to the mentioned event or situation.'Til used as in ''Til the cows come home..' or the song ''Til There Was You' is the poetic form of until.Some dicionaries define till as a preposition/conjuction that stands on its own and is very often used interchangeably with until, but I find the definition of this usage to be too vague as different from until.
