Bombastic

 

Guess what that sentence means ?

 

Following passage plagiarised [part within quotation marks -with slight changes-whole book is interesting] one of the books I used to fancy reading.

 

FM's economic understanding people feel like saying, “Our  untimely labefaction has left us feeling somewhat lactiferous and, although we do not intend to indulge in any longanimity, we do admit to a vague sense of lypophrenia. . . . And furthermore, we are not diversivolent, but we feel there was absolutely no nonfeasance or murcidity on our part and we think the whole thing is a real proctalgia.”

 

In his first formal interview since being dumped as Treasurer, the

erudite Mr. Ralph Willis seemingly could find no more eloquent way of
expressing his emotion than “I’m very pissed off.” [He should have said]:

“Well, actually my untimely labefaction has left me feeling somewhat
lactiferous and, although I do not intend to indulge in any longanimity, I do
admit to a vague sense of lypophrenia. . . . And furthermore, I’m not
diversivolent, but I feel there was absolutely no nonfeasance or murcidity
on my part and I think the whole thing is a real proctalgia.” (Megan Turner,
“Five-Star Words,” Courier-Mail [Brisbane, Australia], 3/14/1992.)

 

Clue:- only a four-letter sentence.
