Four Favorite Words: Lucky Seven Sampson
Friends and coworkers have inquired for weeks when the next round would take place. Let’s get right into Four Favorite Words Lucky Seven Sampson edition.
- Bloviate
- Hubris
- Megalomaniac
- Mountebank
In case the theme isn’t obvious, these words have been careening around the ol’ cerebellum courtesy of the PEOTUS. As I mentioned in a text to one of FMDY’s loyal readers, “I’m tired of giving him more of my brain power than I already have.” I’m hoping to exorcise this demon. I need to cast him out. Regardless, let’s get into the whys and wherefores.
Bloviate: This means to talk at length, especially in an inflated or empty way. Anyone who has listened to the man talk or read his thoughtless tweets knows exactly what I mean.
Hubris: This is excessive pride or self-confidence. His incessant I am the best… or I have the best… I often wonder if his pathological dialog is repeated so he can convince himself. Does he stand before a mirror every morning repeating these phrases?
Megalomaniac: This is a person who is obsessed with their own power. I read somewhere that every world leader has at least a little megalomaniac in them. When I find that book or quote, I’ll present the proper citation.
Mountebank: This a person who deceives others, especially in order to trick them out of their money; a charlatan. Two words: Trump University.
