  • Bravado

    Just so we all know exactly what this is...because I didn't really know...

    bra·va·do      [bruh-vah-doh] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
    –noun, plural -does, -dos.
    a pretentious, swaggering display of courage.

    [Origin: 1575–85; < Sp bravada (now bravata < It), equiv. to brav(o) brave + -ada -ade1]

    brag, bluster, bombast, braggadocio. See courage.


    Well...I've been looking for where I wrote all of that down to see what word she used in addition to bravado...but now I think we're really all just over analyzing this stuff.
    The bottom line is this: when I meet someone new in the business--I can't be shy or reserved. Confidence. That's probably more of what she meant instead of bravado...

    I visited a film composer in a studio yesterday--we talked--it was great. I'm going to flesh out/orchestrate one of his themes. I worked on it a little last night. It's very cool.

  • confidence, good.

    bravado, ridiculous.

  • I don't know . . . sometimes you do swagger.  Heeheehee.

  • How about bravidence? bravado/confidence combined. Actually, bravidence sounds kind of like confidence in the efficacy of your bra. Never mind.

  • Oh Daniel, Daniel...you make me laugh!  That's it...you're nicer than all those Hollywood types out there.  New word: Bravatissimo - a gentleman that displays a quiet disposition, with uncanny wit (that only the truly intelligent can appreciate) and courage that puts the cowardly lion to shame.

  • the mini city grows, but your visit only counts after it's been 24 hours on that computer.

  • How in the world do you talk your way in to getting all these small jobs?  It's amazing.
