Bloviate
<blow-vee-ate>
rant; babble; boast;
to speak pompously without saying anything important.
He will bloviate all day. He will waste your time with useless chatter.
Memory trick:
bloviate reminds of blow.
we blow hard when we talk too much.
At work:
Don't bloviate when you give your speech. Speak clearly and say something of value.
