[quote=Anonymous]If some fat politician is blowing a lot of hot air, can't I just say "[i]He's bloviating![/i]" instead of saying "[i]He's talking at length in an inflated way![/i]"? Why would people judge me negatively for that? If I know the word, and it's the right word, why can't I use it? Maybe "bloviate" is a 75-cent word, but it's still cheaper than using seven 25-cent words instead! Of course, I guess if I'm being really frugal, I'll say "[i]He's a gasbag![/i]"[/quote]
