      Here's the official definition of Bombastic:
      "Characterized by language that is elevated and sometimes pompous in style: aureate, declamatory, flowery, fustian, grandiloquent, high-flown, high-sounding, magniloquent, orotund, overblown, rhetorical, sonorous, swollen"

      I wonder if Andrew C knew that 😉

      And to think that such a powerful (if annoying) pop could be "pompous" 😛

      <edit>I think I must have been on some strong drug when I wrote this, I never post anything quite this pointless. Anyway, I still think it's funny so there! 😉 </edit>

      That's why he's my favourite pop.
      I'm pompous as well. 😉

      Of course he knew what it meant -- it was a play on words... if he didn't know what the word meant, he wouldn't have come up with it! 🙂
