Explanation: yes, hatásvadász is always a tricky one. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-08-01 20:38:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- András' "pompous" is at least as good as "grandstanding" if not better, though it does start to look overdone and cliché at that point; still, pompous would be more usual. |
