Hello, I'm suffering from mental block atm, and I am looking for a word to describe something.

What's the big fascination with ATM?

Hello, I'm suffering from mental block atm, and I am looking for a word to describe something.

The concept is "Someone who stands on their soapbox and tells everyone else what to do." Eg, a politican telling everyone else how they should live their lives.

I thought the word I was after was "procrastinate", but that means to "put off or delay something."

However, the word I am looking for sounded something like procrastinate, I am sure.

Any ideas ?

(and I just know someone's going to say something like <Poster Name> :-)

Gordon Brown?

Pontificate?

Pope?

See the connection there, even though the word pontificate derives from Latin for a pagan priest.

pontifex - from the Latin for bridge making / maker.
