Even though the suit he was wearing would look ridiculous on anyone else, he had the panache to pull it off.

Was anyone else excited that they used Cyrano as the example?

I like the second pronounciation, it seems to me it has much more Panache!

To shave-a the face
Or even a part
Without-a the sort
Require the heart
Not just-a the flash
It take-a panache
It take-a the passion for the art!

*points at his ElJay* :D
