Boobris:
dopey arrogance, reminiscent of H.L. Mencken’s booboisie.
Boobris was
coined by
Matthew Scully, a former speech writer for president Goerge W. Bush.
"The hubris of it is staggering, but they hardly seem serious enough souls to deserve such a weighty word, guilty at worst of a dopey arrogance we might call boobris."
--Matthew Scully, Dominion: The Power of
Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to
Mercy (New York: St.
Martin's, 2002).
