speechify

v. -- to speechify is to incessantly, superfluously bloviate in regards to an issue that usually calls for more direct action (or a change of course).

President Bush's strategy to combat the Iraq war's unpopularity is to speechify. Maybe he'll realize how dumb a strategy that is after his party loses Congress in Nov. 2006.

Speechie

A person who is part of a very small hanful of people who are elite enough to choose to get up at five in the morning in order to be hauled to a random school so that they may subject themselves to speaking publicly and competitively. They also tend to be dressed in more formal clothing on ANY given day (not just competitions), and are slightly more educated, versatile, and elite than most other people in their school, but not often respected as much as they should be.

The speechie was often referred to as a nerd, but that never bothered her.
