He enjoyed the discomfiture of O'Rourke, whom he had learnt from the pages of the Croppy to despise as a mere windbag, and to hate as the betrayer of O'Neill. A sudden thrill of excitement went through him when O'Rourke sat down.
When I got back to my wagons after this semi-tragical interview with that bombastic and self-seeking old windbag, Umbezi, it was to find that Saduko and his warriors had already marched for the King's kraal, Nodwengu. A message awaited me, however, to the effect that it was hoped that I would follow, in order to make report of the affair of the destruction of the Amakoba.
You will breathe it in the dust of every street. What is there to fight for more? Rules of war, indeed! And now Caterham wants to humbug me to help him bargain. Good heavens, man! Why should I come to your exploded windbag? He has played his game ... murdered and muddled. Why should I?" The young man stood with an air of vigilant respect.
It required no deep dive into the mysteries of Nomenology to augur ill from the nickname of 'Terrible Tommy. The title was, of course, satirical; the man an imbecile and fickle windbag.

Enough of the inflated windbag! Peaks, Ned Lambert went on, towering high on high, to bathe our souls, as it were... Bathe his lips, Mr Dedalus said. Blessed and eternal God! Yes? Is he taking anything for it?

I don't propose to have" shake "an old windbag offering me his blubbery old bosom" shake, shake, SHAKE "at this time of my life! and don't you forget it, Appleby Cartwright!
My sides positively ached with laughter when I went to bed. February 12. In the evening I spoke to Lupin about his engagement with Daisy Mutlar. I asked if he had heard from her. He replied: "No; she promised that old windbag of a father of hers that she would not communicate with me. I see Frank Mutlar, of course; in fact, he said he might call again this evening."
