John, Here are a few more adjectives which may, or may not, be of amusement to some of the six hundred List members. Personally, I must admit that II feel there is a note of sadness there, somewhere.
From my ancient dinosaurus:-
Pompous:-
1. affected, arrogant, bloated, grandiose, imperious, magisterial, ostentatious, overbearing, pontifical, portentious, pretentious, puffed up, self- important, showy, supercilious, vainglorious, know it all.
2. Boastful, bombastic, flatulant, fustian, grandiloquent, high flown, inflated, magniloquent, orotund, overblown, turgid, windy.
..................................
Patronizing:-
Condescending, contemptuous, disdainful, gracious, haughty, lofty, snobbish, stooping, supercilious, superiour, toffy nosed, ostentatious
....................................
following on to
Ostracize:-
Avoid, banish,blackball, blacklist, boycott, cast out, cold shoulder, exclude, excommunicate, exile expatriate, expel, reject, send to Coventry, shun, snub.
..................................................
Does this bring back any memories to anyone?

WITH RESPECT. To anyone...No names mentioned. If the cap fits make sure it is firmly screwed onto your head.
