Ego
Ego. n. I-the Latin form of the word. The Romans were afflicted with an impediment in their speech, and that was as good a stagger as they could make of it. Kings and editors get a little nearer to the true pronunciation; they say "We."

Ego. n. Like money, some have too much and others don't have enough.
Dddragon, I'd say both definitions are good, but the first one is perfect.
Absolutely brilliant, old chap!!
The source of the River History.
Ego: It seems that people with the biggest, are actually the ones with the most fragile.
Doug: You, of course, are most humble.
Manjusha, geologically.
Nice one, Gnat. I expected to hear from you on this one.
Jamie Dawn, it does seem that way, doesn't it? And thank you for noticing. I'm the humblest man ever, humbler than whole African villages, humble as the moon and the stars and the comets that patrol the sun and planets...
And goofy? Yikes!
I won't touch it either. Good Job.
Either the confidence that lets us expose who and what we are inside, or the insecurity that makes us create a facade and hide who and what we are inside.
Ego: something that should be served with humble pie but usually isn't. Doesn't apply to goofy people.
a4g, in your case I won't argue.
Alice, was that a sequel to your comment yesterday?
Icy, very deep and very true. It's interesting how ego seems to come from both ends of the confidence spectrum.
Ddragon, I don't usually eat my vegetables either.
Akin to our national bird: soaring high, but bald and in constant danger of being shot down.
The sum of Cartesian cogitation: ergo without the "are."
extend the 'o' to a 'g' and it tastes better.
Weirsdo, great phonetic puns today. I think therefore I is?
Sreekesh, that sounds like Keralite hip-hop.
Actonbell, egas last so far. How'd I do?
It was my understanding that there would be no Latin....
Haha, Aral. I promised no correct Latin.
Ego: balloon for an adult.
I'm with Aral. No latin, no math, I didn't sign up for that class.
TLP, what do you want to be when you grow up? You need Latin. I'm studying to be a pig farmer.
I want to be rich, beautiful and NOT famous. Do I need Latin?
Jerz, welcome. You're new around here aint'cha? At Waking Ambrose, we never violate a man's eggo.
TLP, you don't need a thing.
The illusion of independence in an interdependent world.
Thanks, Graham, and I appreciate your view of ego. If it weren't for vanity, for example, there would be about seven blogs and this wouldn't be among them.
Comfort Addict, as always, sharp.
Thank you, Yeshwant, for your careful reading and response.
