[stylist] saturday word: bombast

[Donna Hill]

Vejas,
Right you are. I've always held to the belief that language should be the
servant of communication, not used to "impress" others by thwarting it. I
also like the adjective bombastic.
Donna

bombast
bom-bast
high-sounding language with little meaning, used to impress 
people.
(or I guess unimpress, it doesn't always give you the best 
impression)
