cognitive discharge

A more extreme form of verbal diarrhea, it is a pretentious and long-winded explanation of one's thoughts or understanding of a painfully boring topic; it is often mistaken for intellect but is really just stupid shit that people say in a failed attempt to seem smart.

cognitive discharger: "The Arc de Triomphe is my absolute dream representation of Napoleonic neoclassical architecture because of the grandness of its triumphal arch and the simplicity of its romantic neoclassic relief. Absolutely astounding!"
listener: "Oh, fuck off."
