I Learned A New Word from My Dad.

Rodomontade- A mass noun meaning boastful behavior.

From author Hannah Arendt in Eichmann In Jerusalem:

“Bragging was the vice that was Eichmann’s undoing. It was sheer rodomontade when he told his men during the last days of the war: ‘I will jump into my grave laughing, because of the fact that I have the death of five million Jews…on my conscience gives me extraordinary satisfaction.’ … (For Eichmann to) claim the death of five million Jews, the approximate total of losses suffered from the combined efforts of all Nazi offices and authorities, was preposterous….”

Well, for all his rodomontade he’s burning in hell.
