Thanks, Pondy!

Don't be surprised if some of these words pop up in the sentence game, especially mamamouchi.

We have a few here at RHP.

In the Video linked in the original post. (about 1:47)

It is " a Person who believe themselves more important they really are"

From Wordnik.com :

Mamamouchi -- A pompous title, from that supposed to have been conferred by the Sultan
on M. Jourdain in Molière's play, "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" -- hence, one who takes such
a title, an ostentatious, self-important, and ridiculous pretender.

I guess you have to know people pretty well to tell they belong to that category. Molière's 'Tartuffe' comes to mind.

You are not missing a whole lot, everyone knows everything in there, even when they are wrong they try to prove that they are right. 😉
