      [POMPOUS}---how is it cuLtured?...how do they say fuck in Russian?

      1. Characterized by excessive self-esteem or exaggerated dignity; pretentious: pompous officials who enjoy giving orders.
      2. Full of high-sounding phrases; bombastic: a pompous proclamation.
      3. Chracterized by pomp or stately display; ceremonious: a pompous occasion.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      [Middle English, from Old French pompeux, from Late Latin pompsus, from Latin pompa, pomp; see pomp.]

    I was living in Mexico when this first came out. Must have seen it once when I reviewed all the past lesson.

    I really should take the time to review some of the early lesson with the cute and innocent Marina.

    sesquipedalio: explained by you however here its slightly different, as i think it is approximately changed because of the time it is spoken in or something like that, some languages even do this with names(poland and if i am not mistaken rusia does this as well!!!)
