    Pretentious in the way the "Egregious Englishman" uses those "five dollar fancy words" way. (E.E. is a character a friend and I developed once. Very high society type sneering at the lesser people and using lots of "big words.)

    Shaming room? That's what I call the exam room when I have to get a check up with a doc.

    So droll is a fancy word when an Englishman uses it, but egregious isn't when an American uses it.

    I'm 36 so I can't rightly remember anything from the late 70's. But I'm well familiar with Dan Ackroyd. As well as all those old school funny guys you don't see anymore.
