|| Bloviated?  Bloviated?  What's up with that???
||
||
||| OK then, I'll do an updation of my headers to reflect your
||| preferences ;)
|||
||| BTW what's the difference between expatiating and expounding? How
||| about expositing?
||| Definitely not lucubrating (I like that one). Arrrgh...you've got
||| me on a tangent now....my teachers always told me to lose my
||| thesaurus :(
||
|| Expounding and expositing are too...  Commonplace, familiar, trite,
|| banal, cliche.  Oh!  Pish tosh!  (Another conversation...)

I apologize for bloviated. A little too rough, I suppose.

As for the others, in the future I will try for less common (boiler plate,
characterless, chestnut, clichéd, colorless, conventional, corn, customary,
familiar, familiar tune, garden, garden variety, hackneyed, humdrum, lowly,
mainstream, matter-of-course, mediocre, middling, mundane, natural, normal,
obvious, ordinary, pedestrian, plebian, prevalent, prosaic, stale, starch,
stereotyped, threadbare, trite, typical, uneventful, unexceptional,
uninteresting, unnoteworthy, vanilla, widespread, workaday) adjectives and
verbs.

And with that, ppbbbbllllttttt!
