hmmm... this was the word-of-the-day at http://word.parlez.com a few days back. vain boasting indeed.

"For this lover of great literature understood not one sentence
out of twelve, and his favourite part was that of which he
understood the least - the inimitable, mouth-filling rodomontade
of the ghost in 'Hamlet'."

--Robert Louis Stevenson, "Across The Plains"
