A word that describes itself

I found today's 'word of the day' recommenation from yourdictionary.com rather amusing.

The word is ' Rodomontade ', which refers to pretentious boasting or bragging.

Quote: "Suggested Usage: This is the pretentious means of referring to pretentious boasting. Using the word itself is a sort of rodomontade."

Now, that's a proud and contemptious word indeed, with quite a character!
