bluster
This term carries a strong connotation of emptiness and pretense. When applied to human behavior, it describes a facade of strength used to mask weakness or fear, creating a psychological gap between the noise of the delivery and the reality of the power. It is almost always used pejoratively to describe someone who is perceived as a fraud or an alarmist.
In its meteorological sense, the word evokes the auditory and physical chaos of a storm. It describes wind that is not a steady stream but rather a series of erratic, noisy bursts. This parallel between the wind and the speech highlights the shared characteristic of loud, disruptive energy that lacks a focused or sustainable core.
