Please control your weening.

Are we to presume the word is spelled overweening?

I’m so tired of seeing the ODramas overweening mugs on the TV that I just can’t even watch the news anymore.

Michael Bloomberg, the overweening Mayor of New York, has advanced his nanny-statism to promote rigorous prohibitions over soda pop, and over weaning, as he promotes breast milk over formula (and over Coca-Cola.)

Quite possibly the most
overweening column ever. These Obama fanboys sure get pissy when their boyfriend is threatened.

She’s young and stupid. At least she’s not involved in serial auto accidents or getting arrested naked in a field.

Overweening
Making weeners from pork? O.K. or from beef, O.K. but then folks got real uppity about it and went for making weeners from feather meat like chicken and turkey which is plain unnatural and definitely overweening.
