Perorata


Definition from RAE:
Discurso o razonamiento, generalmente pesado y sin sustancia.

Example sentence(s):
  • Agotado cada vez que enciendo la tele, esa cosa que supuestamente ofrece compañía, entretenimiento, información y que repite, hasta la extenuación del receptor, partes meteorológicos, las mismas imágenes una y otra vez ilustrando algún tema que contiene inapreciable morbo según el criterio de los programadores (ojalá que el desvergonzado estiramiento del chicle les dejara deforme la mandíbula), peroratas de los políticos aún más huecas, previsibles y bobas que las que sueltan en otras épocas del año y en las que, dudando seriamente de la capacidad de entendimiento del oyente, le machacan con la misma frase, busco desesperadamente un respiro en este tórrido e inacabable agosto, un programa en el que no me sienta tratado como un deficiente mental. - El País
