ORIGINAL: Frank Hm, would someone pleas elaborate on the adjective pretentious? I used Leo to look it up and it gave me several possible translations ranging from being a liar, being pompous, being a wannabe but also not being easy to satisfy. So please, help a stupid non native speaker to understand whether Herwin was insulted or lauded. He meant "being pompous"...
