Word of the Day for Thursday March 16, 2006
megalomania \meg-uh-lo-MAY-nee-ah; -nyuh\, noun:
1. A mania for grandiose or extravagant things or actions.
2. A mental disorder characterized by delusions of grandeur.
Megalomania is an occupational hazard for judges, said Prof. Paul Carrington of the Duke University Law School, noting that a trial judge inevitably has a great deal of power over everyone in the courtroom. “Judges can get awfully full of themselves,” he said.
— Neil A. Lewis, “You’re Out of Order, Your Honor,” New York Times, July 12, 1998
Write up a little something about yourself here. Something short and sweet, or longer if you'd like.
