Euro 2008: Frogs spanked Word of the Day part deux

Euro 2008 Word of the Day, we liked yesterday’s effort so much we’re going to do it all over again aujourd'hui, so welcome as they say, to part deux.

So today’s word (pause for drum roll) is Hubris an elegant word naturellement and coming from the Greek (though it could be Francais) meaning ‘ill deserved arrogance or pride, misplaced self confidence, a misguided conviction in one’s own qualities which is rapidly proved to be patently untrue.’

In a footballing sense meaning ‘an over dependence on ageing étoiles, who are past their peak, au-delà leur meilleur.’

So hubris, World of Spurt’s Euro 2008 Word of the Day.

Why should that be relevant today?

No reason, just saying…
