Here is a longer answer to your question, without repeating myself:
- Ijdeltuit, a Dutch word meaning “vain person” or “snob,” is a 7-letter word. It is derived from the words “ijdel” (vain) and “tuit” (spout), and suggests that the person is so full of themselves that they are about to burst.
Ijdeltuiten are often characterized by their arrogance, self-importance, and preoccupation with their own appearance. They may be quick to criticize others and reluctant to admit their own mistakes. They may also be obsessed with social status and material possessions.
While there is nothing wrong with being proud of oneself and one’s accomplishments, ijdeltuiten take this to an extreme. They may become so caught up in their own self-image that they lose sight of what is truly important in life.
Here is a short poem about an ijdeltuit:
The ijdeltuit, so vain and proud, With nose held high, he walks around. His clothes are fine, his hair is neat, But in his heart, he’s full of conceit.
He sees the world through rose-colored glasses, And thinks that he’s above all others. But deep inside, he’s empty and alone, A fragile ego, built on sand.
So pity the ijdeltuit, For he’s lost his way, And never found the true meaning of life.
