Wow, what a word! ;-). My friend �s surname is Maniac, mega - would stand for very "large" or "excellent", so when he �s in his active periods of professional "maniacal" activity, but the "lo" sounds too much Italian or Spanish and I give up with it ;-))

Most men (at least in this part of the world) are megalomaniacal, the just need to have the biggest of everything. A big house, a big car, the biggest hotel with the biggest pool, they of course catch the biggest fish, caught the biggest burglar....only when it comes to cellphones they seem to pride themselves on having the smallest...(there they readily join the current mini-o-mania ) |
