blatherskite
Nonsense-spouting windbag
Blatherskite is a person who talks at length without saying anything worthwhile—a windbag or loudmouth.
The word can also refer to the nonsense itself: What a load of blatherskite.
It carries a folksy, slightly old-fashioned tone, more likely found in regional American or Scottish speech than in formal contexts.
