What is 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.

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.

Bloviate - what does it mean?

Verb. A new Internet term that means:

1. to act, talk or write like a blowhard;

2. to talk like a Republican politician.

The word is an amalgam of "(to) blowhard" and "to obviate".

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.
