To bloviate means “to speak pompously and excessively” or “to expound ridiculously”. A colloquial verb coined in the United States, it is commonly used with contempt to describe the behavior of politicians, academics, pundits or media “experts,” sometimes called bloviators, who hold forth on subjects in an arrogant, tiresome way. I love this word because it helps me deal with listening to my boss. When we hit minute 20, I can doodle “bloviate” over and over to take my mind off the torture.
