Magniloquence means the use of grand or powerful language, something politicians try to do but invariably make a complete cock up of it. The word comes from the Latin “magnus” (great) and “loquus” (speaking).
Don’t try for magniloquence, make your points clear and logical using simple language.

A person who displays a combination of grandiose or bombastic language usage with the playful and mischievous qualities of a clown or jester.
The party was instantly livened up when Ricardo, a true magniloquent payasito, arrived, regaling everyone with his theatrically verbose stories and pranks.
