Talking through the hat

Talking through the hat
Talk nonsense; also, hold forth about something one knows very little about.

Attested from the late 19th century in the United States in the sense of “bluff”
the sense “speak without authority or knowledge” developed later.
Although some people speculate a connection to a former requirement
that British Members of Parliament wear hats, the connection is implausible.

Erhard Bernstein has particularly liked this photo
