[Alteration of Braggadocchio, the personification of vainglory in The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser, from brag.]

I have GOT to use this in a sentence.

Also I've been wikiInterested in Cockney Rhyming Slang lately. I kinda wanna see some movies where it occurs, like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, which I've never seen. What's the only thing that could make me more annoying? A new form of wordplay.

Also reading this lately. I used to dislike Kipling, but recently Colridge's Kublah Kahn rocked my face off recently, so why not, 19th century British poetry? Why not indeed.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is one of Steve's favorite movies. Another good one is Snatch (which also features Pikey, hee)

Yeah, I saw Layer Cake nd enjoyed myself last weekend, I figure I might like those too. Pikey?

So... in the movie, it comes across more like "Pikey" is the term for the offbrand of language they spoke, instead of, well... a racial slur. Oops.

It's still a funny movie.
