Just learnt a new word.....

Bloviate - I was just watching Fox News and the word appeared on screen.

Never ever seen or heard that word before and couldn't find it in either my Chambers (British) English dictionary or my American Oxford English dictionary. I think they must have made it up.

Nope, I've never heard it either.

Found it in an online dictionary:

To discourse at length in a pompous or boastful manner

You must be watching what I think is called "The Factor" with Bill O'. I don't watch him much, but I have heard him say that word.

Sorry, I'm wrong. I just looked it up. It is called "The O'Reilly Factor".
