Query

1. Have you ever uttered the word "bravura" casually in conversation?

2. If so, did you feel like a pompous ass immediately afterwards? Like an NPR art reviewer, perhaps?

3. Have you ever stopped yourself from saying "bravura" even though you had a phrase right on the tip of your tongue like "bravura guitar solo" or "bravura tracking shot"?
