To discourse at length in a pompous or boastful manner:

" the rural Babbitt who bloviates about 'progress' and 'growth' " (George

Rebeck)

 

And although I titled this message vocabulary word of the day - bloviate

actually was the Dictionary.com word of the day several years ago and

the Earthlink word of the day a month or two ago

 

Nite all! Its way past my bed time on this end of the planet
