Definition: Pompous or extravagant in language, style or manner—especially when trying to impress.
When the Big Boss was around, Sebastian liked to walk the floors and loudly tell his co-workers to be more client-focussed, efficient, effective and forward-facing when actioning corro.
As part of the annual team-bonding exercise, the Big Boss asked everyone to describe themselves in one word. Unable to decide between ‘eloquent’ and ‘grand’, he ended up describing himself as ‘grandiloquent’—which he thought was a combination of the two.
The team concurred. The Big Boss was impressed by his self awareness. Sebastian was impressed at his own vocabulary.
Happy ending!
