bloviator

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.

That bloviator Alec Baldwin said he was going to move to France. Why is he still in Hollywood?

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.

Bladiator

The last guy to get up and go to the bathroom during an extended drinking session.

I can't believe Pete lasted through 7 pitchers. He's a real bladiator.

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.

Tom, bloviated Matt's shaft for hours on the merits of Mircosoft's Swiss Cheese 1.0

blogatorial

A cross between an editorial and a blog piece of content found on the web. In the past an epic battle has ensued against editors who are buzzword compliant and love the word blog and those old school Editors who are afraid of change and think blogs minimize their importance.

For some reason just adding the "torial" portion calmed down the old school editors and the bloggers were even more enthusiastic since they now has an even newer buzzword to impress their friends with.

I could not believe how an editor of Wired magazine's blogatorial commented on how cool the new blogatorial buzzword is now becoming.

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.
