"blague"

A wonderful discovery made while studying for the next Spokane Is Spelling adult spelling bee:

blague
verb
[blag]
French
talk pretentiously and usually inaccurately or boastfully
Bloggers who blague generally alienate their audiences.

The origin of "blog," of course, was a combination of "Web" and "log" -- but isn't it great that there's a French homonym that puts people who bloviate like me in our places?
