Cloudburst. No one noticed him until the day he created an alliance. He's now the head of an army of anonymous faces, and they're going to take over the CORe.

Kismet. I didn't know the word "troll" predated the existence Babylonia. Troll = pompous.

The word itself has had enough self confidence to have held its meaning in English since Geoffrey Chaucer first pulled it from French and set it down in English in 1375. As with many French words pompous comes from Latin.
Household Cavalry Riding In The StreetIt shows up in slightly different form when we talk about the pomp and ceremony surrounding a royal wedding or the swearing of an oath of office. In both cases the root pomp holds a sense of “formality”; in the case of pompous it’s just that the formality inappropriate.
In Classical Latin pompa was a “ceremonial procession” and the word was taken from Greek where this formal parade was likely first associated with saying formal goodbyes and sending someone away in style. The Greek root meant “to send.”
That first English use of pompous by Geoffrey Chaucer certainly referred to someone’s puffed up ego, but curiously that someone was sent away in style as well.
Chaucer writes “Was neuere capitayn vnder a kyng..Ne moore pompous in heigh presumpcioun Than Oloferne.”
Oloferne, or Holophernes, he paid for his pompousness too. |
Thanks Kismet |
