Word of the Day, Pontificate

The other day I was accused of pontificating. I don’t remember the situation but I think I was being some kind of jerk. The word has been going through my head since then wondering what the exact meaning was. I figured out that it was based on the word Pontiff, but I wasn’t acting like the pope in any way that I could derive. So I looked it up.

Pon-tif-i-cate (noun)

1. To administer opinion or judgement in a dogmatic way.

Yeah, I could see myself doing that. It’s a good word, use it in a sentance today. Like “Josh, quit pontificating, music is just a matter of taste”.
