bloviate 

Bloviate is closely associated with U.S. President Warren G. Harding, who used it frequently and who was known for long, windy speeches. H.L. Mencken said of him, "He writes the worst English that I have ever encountered. It reminds me of a string of wet sponges; it reminds me of tattered washing on the line; it reminds me of stale bean soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it. It drags itself out of the dark abysm of pish, and crawls insanely up the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash."
After five years as president and thirty years as a political figure, this colossal oaf is still unable to discipline his urge to bloviate.

bloviate 

To discourse at length in a pompous or boastful manner.

A key attribute to those that sell. To pretend to understand technical subject matter and sell it to others even dumber then oneself.

Bloviate 

The word that Ludwig learned from Schlatt to justify his 80k English Degree.
Did you see how Ludwig used "bloviate" in that Among Us game? Makes his English degree seem a little less useless.

bloviate 

Bloviating = a long winded pompous discourse from someone trying to make a point. A bloviator is someone who cannot express themselves in a pithy concise manner.
Most politicans are guilty of bloviating - as they tend to be pompous windbags. Listening to a politican bloviate over the issues tends to become very boring - thus turning off most voters.
