Displaying an unusual excess of hubris, that ubiquitous lickspittle Eugene shouted, "My codswallop is larger than yours, though it ain't my forte, being a bean counter sort."

Rob exhibited great hubris when he declared that his lickspittle's forte was his ubiquitous codswallop.

"Codswallop!", cried the Duchess, "you know very well that mechanical things are not my forte; if your overweening hubris leads you to think that I will continue to employ a driver simply because he gives good head - when cute boys on the dole are ubiquitous - you're nuts. I'll find myself a lickspittle who actually drives."

From the novel "My Last Duchess", by Queenie MacFarland. Look for it at Borders.

Queenie... I think I love you...

Then you're the only one around here who does, darlin'...

Queenie, long may she live! What a woman, what a writer!

Attempt #1: Since writing was not his forte, Mr. Lickspittle typically peppered his ubiquitous memos with codswallop; however, ocassionally his hubris disintegrated into useful bits of information.

Attempt #2: Mr. Weiner found it hard to gather his codswallopping hubris into a winning pick-up line despite his ubiquitous presence at the bar after he turned fort-ay. "I'm just looking for someone who want to...Lickspittle! I haven't seen you here in a while!"

I see words like "ubiquitous" everywhere. But using words like "forte" isn't my strong suit...

Blogging inimical hubris and ubiquitous codswallop seemed to be the unfortunate lickspittle’s dubious forte.

Rob, being the lickspittle guitarist that he is, let out a chord with such a ubiquitious hubris as to cause Jimi's grave stone to fall over with a loud crash such as might arise from the forte of a horrid cymbal crash.

"In his hubris, the man thought that being an ubiquitious little lickspittle was his forte; in reality, he's just a great, big, ol' codswallop."

Now can you tell us what a codswallop is?

McGee... that was absolutely hilarious..

Beautifully done.

Codswallop: "wallop" is an old English word for beer.
A fellow by the name of Cod at one time sold a low-alcohol or non-brewed version which became known as Codswallop.

The ubiquitous Michael Moore, whose forte is pretending to "speak truth to power" while, in reality, acting as no more than a knee-padded lickspittle for every anti-American, anti-semitic popinjay flourishing in the slutchy, verminous serwers that constitute modern liberal discourse, displayed arrogance beyond measure in his recent attempts to influence the presidental election, but, like the Greeks of old, his hubris was his downfall.

There. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm printing out Queenie's response and retiring to a private room. . .

Wondering whether he should correct the hubristic blogger's ubiquitous misspelling of the word "ubiquitious" and pondering the the seemingly lickspittle-like codswallop from some bloggers in such threads, Arcs decided to risk the misperceival that an anal rententive bent would define his forte.

Dan Rather.

Steve, If codswallop is light (and by the sound of it, really light) beer, that probably explains why it's not a more popular term, hehe.

The ubiquitous hubris of lickspittle liberals is most often observed as they spew their contumacious codswallop, which is their only forte.
