👉 In the context of literature, a "bloviate" refers to a person who engages in excessive or unnecessary speech or writing that is not relevant or appropriate for their audience. It can be used figuratively to describe someone who speaks too much or is overly critical of themselves without considering the impact it may have on others. For example, if someone writes a book about their own experiences and spends a lot of time discussing how they overcame obstacles in life, they might be considered bloviate.
