The Chinese characters 谈 meaning is chat; talk.
谈, or words (言) beside flame (炎), aptly signifies an informal chat by the fire - idle talk in which much is spoken but little is said. Mischief arising from aimless opening of the mouth and thoughtless wagging of the tongue sparks the old saying: “Much talk brings on trouble; much food brings on indigestion.”
