Imperious
(im-ˈpir-ē-əs)
(Adjective)
Definition:
~ Commanding, dominant
~Urgent
Sentence:
An imperious movie star who thinks she's some sort of goddess is not a role
model for young children.
Something to think about:
My great-aunt Miriam commands the attention of the entire family with
her imperious, proud bearing. When she enters a room, you would think
that she is a high-handed queen imperiously greeting her lowly subjects.
Aunt Miriam dictates who will speak at the dinner table, and imperiously or
bossily orders people to stop when she thinks they have said enough. Once,
when I tried to disagree, she imperiously raised a single terrible eyebrow at
me which frightened me into falling silent.
In The Hundred-Foot Journey, actress Helen Mirren gets to play the part of
Madame Mallory, an imperious owner of an elegant restaurant in a tiny
village in the south of France. When an Indian family comes to town and
opens their own restaurant 100 feet away, Mallory has nothing but disdain
for the family and the food they're cooking. To see what happens between
the family and Madame Mallory watch the movie The Hundred-Foot
Journey.
