My best friend in High School and I made up this word back around 1972 or 1973. Our definition then was someone who expounded at great lengths, not knowing when to shut up.
A Bloviator to us was a person who when you asked him what time it was, he told you how to build a watch.

The preacher got wound up in the sermon last Sunday. He began to bloviate and went past the usual time to get out of church.

1. A public figure, such as a politician or an actor, who makes outlandish, strident statements on issues, thinking that the average man will care about their opinions.
2. Someone who pontificates about issues of which they are uninformed, yet pretend to be expert.
3. Pompous blowhard, using their celebrity to speak about topics on which they are totally unqualified.

Did you see how Ludwig used "bloviate" in that Among Us game? Makes his English degree seem a little less useless.

Rush Limbaugh and Keith Olbermann are prime examples of Bloviating Blowhards. Limbaugh promotes Republican Big Government (socialism); Olbermann promotes Democrat Big Government (socialism). They pretend they have opposing viewpoints.
