pop·in·jay

/ˈpäpənˌjā/

Learn to pronounce

noun

1.

DATED

a vain or conceited person, especially one who dresses or behaves extravagantly.

"Gillray so lovingly renders the popinjay, and we laugh so deeply at his pretensions, that the savagery of the social criticism, though devastating, is somewhat mitigated."

2.

ARCHAIC

a parrot.

......SNIP"

Works perfect. He is a vain man thrilled at the chance to diminish Canadians and a parrot of Ultra MAGA.
