triumvirate - A group of three men responsible for public administration or civil authority
Sycophants - A person who tries to please someone in order to gain a personal advantage
patronage - (politics) granting favours or giving contracts or making appointments to office in return for political support
parochialism- A limitation of views or interests like that defined by a local parish
He still spoke in Punjabi with his mother, and went occasionally to the Wadala market to get vadiyan, but by the time we came along, the mother tongue at home was English and we were raised to be global citizens with a healthy disregard for parochialism – and for ghee!
snob - A person regarded as arrogant and annoying
prolix - Tediously prolonged or tending to speak or write at great length
"editing a prolix manuscript" or prolix blogger or prolix teacher
garrulous - Full of trivial conversation
loquacious- Full of trivial conversation
rambling (verb ramble) - Move about aimlessly or without any destination, often in search of food or employment
I guess it comes from our deep and enduring disgust for pompous, windbag politicians, garrulous chat show hosts, bombastic journalists, rambling academics, prolix bloggers, loquacious gurus, chatterbox celebrities with nothing to talk about but the tedium of their boring, over-exposed lives.
