        I have a talent for pretentiousness, and the Scriptures say that we shouldn't occult veil becloud hide our talents.

          I think using a foreign expression when a good English one will do, is cause celebre.

            I think it's gauche.

              Since I'm capable of waxing pretentious more than anyone here, save happyone, I offer that this thread shows how denigrating the learnèd man is a cause célèbre in baser Mormon culture. The native levels of pretentiousness resident here already long ago came astride, and even eclipsed the best efforts of the most arcane conventicles known to flesh and deity, informed by a self-denial only seen in Tom Cruise and wuapinmon exclaiming how much of a lying piece of crap the scales at the YMCA are. Magister dixit.

              you said conventicles.
              Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

              For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

              Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                    It is certainly vogue for many here to express themselves pretentiously, but I am not wont to do so. Tarry on, ladies and gents!

                    Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                        The word "rigor" is making the rounds in my company. It's being overused and abused. It made me think of this thread.

                            I'm tired of how so many people declare they are passionate about whatever they do, especially when describing their jobs, or the jobs they seek. "Cost accounting is my passion!" What's wrong with simply "wanting" to do/eat/hear something? Why is "passion" an apparent prerequisite?

                              It's the sexualization of our culture.

                                Here are a bunch of new words to use so that you won't have to be dispassionate about people's work.
