They say that hens do cackle loudest when
There's nothing vital in the eggs they've laid;
And there are hens, professing to have made
A study of mankind, who say that men
Whose business 'tis to drive the tongue or pen
Make the most clamorous fanfaronade
O'er their most worthless work; and I'm afraid
They're not entirely different from the hen.
Lo! the drum-major in his coat of gold,
His blazing breeches and high-towering cap --
Imperiously pompous, grandly bold,
Grim, resolute, an awe-inspiring chap!
Who'd think this gorgeous creature's only virtue
Is that in battle he will never hurt you?
Hannibal Hunsiker

vanity domain
(foldoc) | vanity domain
A domain you register for the sole purpose of
having your own domain so you can have an easily remembered
URL and e-mail address. The domain is usually served
(often vhosted) off someone else's machines.
This is as opposed to a domain you register because you have
machines of your own which are already on the Internet and
which you want to make addressable via something other than
dot addresses.
Whereas vanity domains were almost unheard-of in 1980s, since
the invention and popularisation of the Web in the mid-1990s
and the desire for URLs which consist only of memorable
domain names (e.g., "http://pbs.org") for everything from
movies to car wax, vanity domains have come to be the rule
instead of the exception.
(1997-09-11)

vanity domain
(jargon) | vanity domain
n.
[common; from ‘vanity plate’ as in car license plate] An Internet domain,
particularly in the .com or .org top-level domains, apparently created for
no reason other than boosting the creator's ego.
