Faux Hubris

I just want to make sure y'all know I coined the term 'faux hubris'.

That would also sum up the entire career of Will Ferrell and Owen Wilson.

More on faux hubris if you want to hear about something awesome.

If you don't like hearing about awesome things then I won't waste my time spelling out for you something you are not interested in.

Besides I don't know if you'd get it anyway.

Nothing about you, it's just I really know what I am talking about and I wouldn't want to embarrass you.

For want of a better phrase! or “shared by all.”

WORD HISTORY The word vulgar now brings to mind off-color jokes and offensive epithets, but it once had more neutral meanings. Vulgar is an example of pejoration, the process by which a word develops negative meanings over time. The ancestor of vulgar, the Latin word vulgāris (from vulgus, “the common people”), meant “of or belonging to the common people, everyday,” as well as “belonging to or associated with the lower orders.” Vulgāris also meant “ordinary,” “common (of vocabulary, for example),” and “shared by all.” An extension of this meaning was “sexually promiscuous,” a sense that could have led to the English sense of “indecent.” Our word, first recorded in a work composed in 1391, entered English during the Middle English period, and in Middle English and later English we find not only the senses of the Latin word mentioned above but also related senses. What is common may be seen as debased, and in the 17th century we begin to find instances of vulgar that make explicit what had been implicit. Vulgar then came to mean “deficient in taste, delicacy, or refinement.” From such uses vulgar has continued to go downhill, and at present “crudely indecent” is among the commonest senses of the word.
