Braggadocio is:
A) a community in Missouri
B) a character in Spencer's play The Faerie Queen
C) a bragging style of rap music
yep, all of the above
but braggadocio most often means to lie in a cocky way about something that's not true,
giving you a neat way to call someone both a braggart and a liar at the same time
The origin is
1) the word brag (from around the year 1450)
2) Year 1590 - 1596 the name of the character in the play "Faerie Queen" was so named
from the word brag + occio from the Italian meaning "something large of its kind"
