Incredible words I learned from watching Succession today:

HISTRIONIC:  The word “histrionic” means “dramatic or theatrical.” For people with histrionic personality disorder, their self-esteem depends on the approval of others and doesn't come from a true feeling of self-worth. They have an overwhelming desire to be noticed and often behave dramatically or inappropriately to get attention. (This made me think of clickbait social media users)

MERETRICIOUS:  apparently attractive but having in reality no value or integrity. archaic definition:  relating to or characteristic of a prostitute. (This one made me think of Kim Kardashian)

POPINJAY:  a vain or conceited person, especially one who dresses or behaves extravagantly.

In Cheam, in Surrey, England.

I was rereading the Harry Potter series for the seventh or eighth time when I stumbled across this gem. The quote, "my poor puffed-up popinjay," will now be one of my favorite sayings in times of distress. 

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.                                                          By J.K. Rowling. Chapter 23. Page 496.
