I was in the MIT emerging technology conference in Boston MA, and I heard a word many times, let us call it "P", I had not heard the word before September 2008, I do not know, what is it, I do not know how to spell it, and this is killing me, seriously, I am not proficient in English but I would love to know what is the word, how to spell it and what it means, the word "P" is in the MP3 file after the guy says:
"I was looking for EECS 1... see ... a tempted geek P ... where is room 10, there we go"
Can anyone please help me?

I don't understood the word.
I am sure he said bravado (meaning courage) in that clip.
"...attempted geek bravado..."
If you arent american, it's hard to undestood the word.
If you aren't American, it's acceptable to say "it's hard to understood."
You are cruel, if you are not an American it is acceptable to say "Let me nationalize this Bank"
You mean if you don't speak ENGLISH fluently? Last time I checked America wasn't the only country to speak ENGLISH. They speak ENGLISH in ENGLAND too. Can't think how they're at all linked?
and in New Zealand! ...mate
Indeed, it's the first language of many countries around the world and the official language of most international organisations. It gets on my nerves when some Americans just associate it with their country without any sort of recognition that they're not the only people who speak it.
Thanks so much! Not knowing was killing me, so it was bravado I was hearing a P like pravado, again thanks so much.
