Here I was, thinking you made that word up, so google found for me:
"
According to WikiPedia, to bloviate is 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.

There, they have their very own website!
Grant.
The only words I "make up" are shortenings of long silent letter words
like changing "through" to "thru" and creating acoustic expletives
like "Naaaah" :-)
