As in......"It is fruitless to attempt to indoctrinate a superannuated canine with innovative manuevers."
(you can't teach an old dog new tricks.)
Or........."Exclusive dedication to necessitous chores without interludes of hedonistic diversion renders Jack a hebetudinous fellow." (all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy)
Yeh, I have no idea what it's called unfortunately.

When a person is verbose in stating something simple, we might say he is "making a mountain out of a molehill."
Or we might tell him to "cut to the chase" when he is "full of hot air."
Now if this person is using many hard and big words to state a simple idea, he is said to "talk like an apothecary."

The word is 'verbose'.
'Bombastic' is the use of words in the wrong context.

"verbage". made up from two words:
verb(an active part of speech)
garbage(waste materials)
hence the word "verb" "age"
