Word of the Day - "H"

Hubris. I love this word.

From Dictionary.com:

excessive oride or self-confidence, arrogance.

Etymology - from the Greek hybris, meaning insolence.

In other words, what Tiger Woods, Mel Gibson, numerous politicians, atheletes, and celebrities have in common.

Thinking your sexcapades, rants, affairs, bloopers, doping, drugging, and carousing won't have an impact on your career, personal reputation, marriage or relationships.

Or your bank account.
