I once had a DM who was pretty full of himself. However, this particular trait allowed himself to DM in a style that would be silly/over the top for someone like myself. He made it a practise to pause the game when it got out of hand and he urged everyone to close their eyes "and get back in to character" for thirty seconds or so. *Long silence*. It always felt pretty ackward but it worked wonders! You should try it. Oh, it helps if you can beat up anybody who laughs.
Decamber's new words make a lot of sense to a Swedish speaker. If I was Decamber's age and had his grasp of a foreign language, my parents would be very proud indeed.
