Officious

Today we just had the spelling bee for Grade 6 and for the whole highschool level in the school where I am working. I learned a lot of pretty big words today, and so far, my favorite is OFFICIOUS. –adjective 1. objectionably aggressive in offering one's unrequested and unwanted services, help, or advice; meddlesome: an officious person. 2. marked by or proceeding from such forwardness: officious interference. 3. Obsolete . ready to serve; obliging. So, in Filipino, it's called EPAL (as Sir Darwin would put it). It makes me wonder what kind of occupation an officious person would have. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Now it figures why officers are so officious sometimes.
