    Gas bag = wind bag, pompous, talkative, bloviator. One who bloviates - constantly talking, often in a longwinded pompous manner. Many of these folks like the sound of their own voice - often unaware of those around them who are often laughing at them behind their backs. These folks are often very vain and conceited - impressed by their own self importance. Many politicans are gas bags, full of empty hot air.
    It just comes naturally to me!

    I have a friend who qualifies for this purpose, but I try not to use him very often.

    When I went to school at Texas A&M, we used the term Gas Bags, and you nailed the definition!
