VERBIAGE

verbiage:
- an overabundance of words; wordiness
- manner or style of expression; diction.

(Example: The sheer volume of verbiage he has expelled over eight years is enough to make John Updike look blocked. [Reference: Andrew Sullivan, "Sounds of Silence", New Republic, January 15, 2001])
