I had to look up pragmatic to get a handle on this one. I've never used it in any sense other than the "practical" one.
So adding the "poly" makes it quite intensive, wouldn't you say?5. of or pertaining to the affairs of state or community.
6. Archaic.
a. busy; active.
b. officious; meddlesome; interfering.
c. dogmatic; opinionated.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
