Pompous Grass

“Free pompous grass. I’m digging it all up out of my yard this week.”
But be warned: you’ll want to dig it all up out of your yard as well, probably around the tenth time it starts yammering about that semester it spent as part of the landscape at Oxford.
This offer is so incredibly underwhelming I’m unusually lost for words
I had to get rid of pompous grass like that because it kept acting so smug & superior because it had a well-to-do upbringing and had a PhD.
It certainly /looks/ pompous…
I hate uppity grass.
I;m a loser. I want it.
We had someone offer this same stuff on our local Freecycle group. LOL

Compared to Kentucky bluegrass, it has a right to be pompous.
Good luck digging it up. And to the person taking it…even better luck. These plants are more than pompous, they are HEAVY!
This stupid gigantic weed seemed like a pompous jerk in my experience with it. It just decided that our backyard was the perfect place to grow 10 feet tall and 7 feet wide. It invaded one of our family 2 peach tree’s personal space until it failed to produce fruit and died it also killed our christmas pine tree. No joke, true experience.
These gigantic plants come from seemingly nowhere as shown in this image where it grew to that size in front of several windows to the house and right next to the driveway without it being noticed enough to be removed when small.
Yeah, we had two pampas grass bushes in my front yard as a kid. Man, I hate those things. The grass blades are razor sharp. Though it’s fun to pull those white flower things out and throw them like spears, especially after setting the flowers on fire! (They burn quite rapidly though.)
No one likes a pompous pampas.
Goddamn intellectual plants. They never did any hard work.
