Word of the day: Grandiloquence

grandiloquence (gran-DIH-luh-kwence), noun
A pompous or lofty manner of speech. Bombast; language that is full of long, pretentious words. Also an attitude of haughtiness.
Politicians in love with their own grandiloquence may not always be good at solving problems and keeping campaign promises.

Kind of reminds me of our politicians.
