bragadocious

Thomas Hauser, a boxing writer, had this to say about American's views on Floyd Mayweather ahead of his Ricky Hatton fight this weekend...

"there are a lot of people who don't respond to his bragadocious nature."

I just tried to find the word bragadocious in an online dictionary and unsurprisingly could not. It can be found in the urban dictionary though - a collection of "urban" phrases too cool for normal dictionaries. It is not as good as my favourite made up American word - winningest, but i do like it.
