Bloviation seems to be your favorite word, Win.

Just keep preaching to the gallery, Sig. LindyBill's volume of righteous blather just isn't enough by itself, when you're on the "right" side there's no such thing as too much righteous bloviation.

Boring! If you want your insults to have some "bite," you need some new words, Win.

bloviation; This one, your favorite, is most closely associated with Warren Harding. An American word, not in Oxford English Dictionary or the very recent New Oxford Dictionary of English.Try "Blowhard," you are already using "Blather." "Codswallop," as in "load of," is a good one. "Enough of your Codpockery!" is a favorite of mine.

Try some different versions. He is a "Bloviator." He "Bloviates." How about, "lindybill is very Babblative?"

Well, you get the idea. Work on it Win! You too, can become better at insulting people!
