Word of the Day: Hubris

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

hubris (n.): overweening pride or self-confidence; arrogance. from Gr. hybris, wantonness, arrogance, insolence. I don’t think there has ever been a more literal demonstration of the proverb “pride goeth before a fall” (video). (From AP drummer and douche-beating connoisseur Amit Wehle.)
