It's a Tuesday today
and tomorrow I'll be having
an English Presentation regarding
bombastic words~

What are bombastic words?
They are words which are rare to find
and sometimes hard to pronounce.
They are words which are most favored
(and it's a must for them to know)
by those who specializes in English.
In other words,
bombastic words are words
which makes a person go "WOW!"

The words that I've picked
are as shown below:

1. Abdicate

for example power, as of
monarchs and emperors,
or duties and obligations.

1. The king abdicated the throne
in favor of his son.

side of someone

2. Experts predict an exodus of millions from
