Pretentious words battle

[4DQSAR]

So pretentious I can’t even find it on Google

Well, both 'serendipity' and 'sagacity' were coined by Coined by Horace Walpole in a letter to his friend Sir Horace Mann.

So serengasity means 'the ability to accidentally appear wise, perceptive and of sound judgement'.

If you have read the novel or indeed seen the excellent film adaptation of the novel 'Being There', the character of Chance repeatedly demonstates serengasity. Or, for US readers, Forrest Gump.

Kardashianesque

Go for it - give us the etymology and have some fun with it!

 

[chippermonk]

I'll let the dear readers deduce the etymology for themselves but a more accurate variation would be Kartrashian

Kardashianesque

A person who is famous for being famous, for doing any old shit to stay famous.

Etymology

Root: Greek; καρδία (kardía) - 'heart toxin' (cardiotoxic)
Stem: Latin; arcus - most extreme
Tail: Germanic' izkaz (esque) - childish

So 'Most venomous and childish'?

I've never knowingly ever seen, read or heard anything by them or about them. How did I do? Am I close?

I'm not up to snuff on my Greek, latin, and german ( modern or archaic) but I'm pretty sure siliconized fat bottoms, big boobs, and bulbous lips are part of the etymology. But definitely famous for being famous, for doing any old shit, and lots of it
