faff

To keep speaking pompously and with a lot of jargon , when in fact you don't have a clue of the topic at hand.Often excercised by Business people (mostly MBAs), public speakers, HR guys , politicians etc.

1> The CEO got up late to prepare for the presentation and ended up faffing like mad on the podium.

2> In an interview , when you've said enough "I don't know"s , its time for faffing.
