I'm a bit of a fan of the word "Bloviate." Whenever I hear it, I can't help but think it's such an odd sounding word, yet somehow exactly sounds like what it means. Similarly, I recently learned in Spanish "Mariposa." I have no idea the origin behind the word, but for some reason it sounds like a perfect word for butterflies.

To me bloviate sounds like it should mean "a cow farting" so I'd agree 100% with you.
