Did You Know?

Warren G. Harding is often linked to bloviate but to him the word wasn't insulting; it simply meant "to spend time idly." Harding used the word often in that "hanging around" sense but during his tenure as the 29th U.S. President (1921-23) he became associated with the "verbose" sense of bloviate perhaps because his speeches tended to the long-winded side. Although he is sometimes credited with having coined the word it's more likely that Harding picked it up from local slang while hanging around with his boyhood buddies in Ohio in the late 1800s. The term probably derives from a combination of the word blow plus the suffix -ate.

Warren G. Harding 经常与 blovate 联系在一起，但对他来说这个词并不带有侮辱性的含义。 它只是指“to spend time idly「无所事事地消磨时间」”。Harding 经常在“hangling around「无所事事」”时使用它，但他在担任美国第 29 任总统（1921-23 年）期间 bloviate 开始与“long-winded「冗长的」”的感觉联系在一起，这可能是因为他啰里啰嗦的演讲。 尽管有时被认为是他创造了该词，但Harding更可能是在 1800 年后期的俄亥俄州与他的童年伙伴闲逛时学到的当地的俚语。 该术语可能源自单词 blow 和后缀 -ate 的组合。
