bullshitter
Chronic truth stretcher
A bullshitter produces empty talk designed to sound meaningful.
Unlike a liar, a bullshitter may be indifferent to truth, caring only about the impression created: That consultant is a total bullshitter.
The term sometimes carries grudging respect: He's a world-class bullshitter, I'll give him that.
