Re: Most grandiose user on forkheads
Hmmm, someone has never heard of that most grand of rhetorical devices: the play on words.
The thing about grandiose is that, like many words, it has many meanings, and many possible connotations and uses. As it is not a popular term to use here, people are easily free to view it as they like. The other interesting thing is this word can be somewhat derogatory or an extreme compliment or even an expression of wonder or the sublime.
Thus, as you've noticed, Hanzo even campaigned for the position, and those who like me have expressed that I should get it for a specifically complimentary reason. Kain has expressed that you're consideration of him makes him admirable.
Do we know YOU meant it in a derogatory light? Why, I'm sure most of us do. However, you did not initially specify, and we simply don't care anyway. Thus, we choose to use other uses, definitions and connotations of the word, to play on the word. Even when you gave a specific dictionaries terms, and synonyms, there was much room for either derogatory or praise. By the way though, a large list of synonyms don't actually indicate a use of a word, as many words have synonyms which also have extremely different meanings under some uses, and usually have both derogatory and complimentary synonyms, as you posted this word does.
However, lets not loose what we have here, gentlemen. For it is obvious that the only way this debate can really be settled is by a penis swinging contest, displayed before all to see whose dick is supreme! While the suggestion has some charm in being the victor, let us not forget who has set this up: pinkturbokitty. Obviously he just wants to see all our penises.
edit: Before I forget, this topic was somewhat funny. It gives SO much evidence to ptks retardation. Its almost quote worthy in parts. I especially love the part where he thought haz and carsito were talking about him rather than pkb whom they very clearly were. It just occurred to me to that this was a mark of his embodying some of the negative connotations of the word he has been trying to apply to the rest of us in this contest.

You're still missing my whole point. I am purposely choosing a definition that allows ambiguity in order to put a different spin on what you were trying to do (and I used M-W because it's one I prefer). Yes, I realized from the very beginning you were trying to be stupidly derogatory as I knew grandiose is usually used in a negative connotation. That doesn't mean I need to be, especially since the people you've listed are actually pretty cool. Also, if you really want to attack the definitions given, Quote: 1 : characterized by affectation of grandeur or splendor or by absurd exaggeration and Quote: 1. affectedly grand or important; pompous: grandiose words. And... Quote: 2 : impressive because of uncommon largeness, scope, effect, or grandeur and Quote: 3. grand in an imposing or impressive way. Just because they're worded differently do not mean that they're completely different meanings. As you can see, the two definitions given by M-W match up with reference.com. They are not 100% the same, as the second definition M-W gives covers slightly more than reference.com, but they are not so far apart that they are completely different.

Most of N0th1n's posts are noise to me, and you're a lot like him, so I apply those properties on to you (Which I did from the start when I believed you were his alt) 3. You keep repeating yourself making me speed read your posts more looking for the key points since I'm too lazy to give you more than 10% of my attention, which relates to the 1st reason.

0: Others were screaming tl;dr. 1. Thanks for stating the obvious. 2. Too bad his noise has actual substance, unlike yours. 3. I repeat because your replies always address things I have just stated; had you read what I said from the beginning, there would be no need to repeat. Speed read != complete disregard for all that is said. You don't need to give someone more than 5% of your attention to read properly unless you're really bad at focusing.
