interesting, see what you think I particularly like "blatherskite -- one who loudly displays his ignorance. Universally applicable in the American public discourse; think radio talk show bloviators and the combatants on the Sunday morning television mud wrestling (aka political commentary) shows.
and: tootle -- to move along in a very leisurely manner.

In Dominica, to "tootle" is to gently tap your horn (usually several times) at someone in another vehicle. It's considered a polite (and leisurely) way to ask them to move along in a very leisurely manner, so I think the definition fits!
