Without having to resort to Google, what, pray tell, is Hubris?

In all my 43 years on this earth I have never had the need to use this word.

Am I missing out?

[Happy Jack]

Hubris is always followed by Nemesis.

Does that help at all?

It means 'excessive pride or self-confidence', usually misplaced. I use it a lot.

NOM

1 - Excessive pride or self-confidence:
"The self-assured hubris among economists was shaken in the late 1980s"

1.1 (In Greek tragedy...) Excessive pride towards or defiance of the gods, leading to nemesis.

And inevitably, Nemesis is followed - at some distance - by the horse I backed.

That's right, it's more of a vocalist/guitarist thing than a bass thing!

Insert Robert Johnson song and derivative blues works of choice. State that you are a descendant of Mr Johnson and consequently claim copyright infringement in all blues songs from all artists. How long before this one plays?

That's not hubris - it's apathy.
