    Bravado will only get you so far; for example, about halfway through a room full of hungry lions.

    We could almost smell the bravado as 5 year old Billy climbed way up to the highest diving platform. Climbing down again was the hard part.

    The little avocado mustered up all his bravado in order to move to colarado but instead he stayed in eldorado and played mikado.

    Since playing @artwiculate, I now use words like cacophony & boondoggle in everyday conversation with much bravado. My friends are worried.

    It took bravado to go up in that plane for my tandem skydive. It took an equal amount for surgery the next day to repair my broken leg.

    There's a certain swashbuckling bravado involved in entering @artwiculate contests. At least, before the winner is announced.

    His swift jab cracked with staccato. Otto hit the damp floor of the grotto. "Stay out of Colorado." The desperado moseyed out with bravado.

    Bullies hide behind blusterous bravado, and its opposite – timorousness – is the downfall of the bullied.

    But bravery and bravado overlap. It need not be false courage in a prisoner to face torture with bravado: it might the best way to get by.

    To have the ‘courage’ of The Cowardly Lion is only b.s. bravado …until AFTER The Wizard is seen, that is. THEN you’re truly lionhearted.
