As Salbader one is shallow, sanctimonious windbag called, the most a lecture-like monologue with feigned knowledge holds.

The origin of the word is not certain. It is first attested to as a name for shallow chatter since the 17th century . The most likely derivation of "salt" (Sal, Sole) and " Bader ", could mean "bathe someone with salt water" with the background that the soap does not dissolve in salt water. The proximity to anointing in the sense of speaking unctuously is also possible. Around 1800 the verb was also used in the sense mentioned above, namely to speak piously , hypocritically and superficially.
