Possibly true... From time to time we've all agreed with that. And that's why Tabby is so loved here...

That is such a hard question. Of course Tabs' is pompous, what's the use of being right about everything if you can't lord over the mere mortals who you deign to converse with. And Tab's is patrician; once again a member of the upper classes must remember his place, even as he is mixing with the masses. So of course Tabs is patrician by his very nature. So we're running neck and neck on patrican/pompous. It's going to take more work to suss out which takes the lead.

Now blowhard? That's a little tougher to hang on Tabs. Being both patrician by class and pompous by virtue of always being right, some might accuse Herr Tabdullah of blowhardedness. I say no: this is just the price to pay for being of the elite class, always right, and cursed with the duties of the prophet to announce the truth to the masses. The masses might take Tabs for a blowhard, but that's only because they're members of the lower classes and don't know any better.

Utter charlatan? Come now. Tabs is a man of wealth and taste. His prophecies tell of the truth. Only those who can't handle the truth fail to understand the meaning in Herr Tabdullah's words and mistake him for a charlatan.

So the final answer is: Pompous. Because it's no fun being patrician and always right without taking advantage of that fact and pointing it out every once in a while.

Just needs two strategically placed "a's" to complete the sentence.

Are you that and what I think of is as a busy lout, a pedestrian fool, aseptic of thought, stodgy of mind and manner?

Nah...but you do suffer from logorrhea.

So many come to mind...

I think from the descriptive words you listedd above, your choice is going to be "POMPOUS" as both bombastic and turgid are synonyms...

Is self-righteous one word or two?
