I have determined that the word "bloviating" must have been coined while sitting through a four-hour city council meeting.

I want to dive headfirst into a vat of Ritalin.

*numb*

And now I get to write about the thing... gah.

wtf is bloviating?
My upline has coined the word "impactful" If he uses it one my time I shall produce a dictionary and say, "where does it say that?"
