Yup.
Or did I mean No? I get confused easily. Stupid people often embark on long and laborious explanations of things that they may say and do and usually go off into some weird tangent about it as well all with the aim of being more precise in what they want to say but usually ending up somewhere else entirely.
Especially where lists are concerned as people who list a lot - as in make copious lists as opposed to people who list in the nautical sense (with one leg shorter - or possibly longer than the other) - people who list a lot are often confused anyway.
Something like that anyway.
What was the question?

To cement one's reputation as a pretentious windbag. 😛

There's also 'list' in the intoxication sense - as in "brahms and liszt" - admirable for it's threewordsness - but then you have the defiantly verbose having one's faculties impaired by an excessive level of alcohol in the blood.
