When applied to things ,
these words usually denote a mere accordance with the rules of form or ceremony ;
as ,
to make a formal call ;
to take a ceremonious leave .
When applied to a person or his manners ,
they are used in a bad sense ;
a person being called formal who shapes himself too much by some pattern or set form ,
and ceremonious when he lays too much stress on the conventional laws of social intercourse .
Formal manners render a man stiff or ridiculous ;
a ceremonious carriage puts a stop to the ease and freedom of social intercourse .
