A blowhard is a person who talks a lot, in a loud, sure way, as if they know everything. The opinions are strong; the listening is weak. It is informal and — you say it about someone, not to their face if you want to stay polite. American English uses it more than British. Though actually, a blowhard is not always lying: they may believe their own noise. It is not a wind word and not a punching word. The picture is someone blowing hard, like a lot of hot air — plenty of talk, not much weight.
