Hubris

It seems that everyday I see the word "hubris" in some kind of opinion-editorial. I figured it was high time for me to look it up. It means "exaggerated pride or self-confidence" (from Merriam Webster On-line Dictionary). For some reason, seeing this word in an article ANNOYS me. Maybe because people who use this word like it's a regular part of "everyman's" vocabulary have an aura of hubris themselves? Haha.
