    What fancy words do you use to feel clever?

    Ive no idea why i thought of this as a thread, should be funny though! Some i like to use are:
    Specificity, Clarification, Leverage, Fortuitous, Mannerisms, Manifest, Disambiguation, Reconciliation, Clique.

    when i was in the process of splitting up with my ex gf, i was explaining that i didnt tell her something becasue i didnt want to change the dynamics of the relationship. id never heard her say dynamics but then she said it 5 times. just something i remember, as i cant remember what she was raging on about but all that was stuck in my mind was that she kept saying it like a kid who had learned a new word lol.

    It's rather fortuituous that your vocabulary and mannerisms manifest themselves in such a way, you must have leverage over your clique, or for everyone else's clarification, here is a disambiguation;

    Facade, Ambiguous, Idiosyncratic, Stupor.

    Also, I heard a rapper use Onomatopoeia in a rap verse recently... I thought that was a bit snotty!

    Being an American, I usually just hack British slang that makes it's way over across the pond: Cheeky, chuffed to bits, chin wag, wanker, etc. I have a grand time trying to work the word "Trebuchet" into conversation...my girlfriend loves it when I pull it off, just makes her giggle. But yeah...I think a good vocab, especially one that American ears don't get to hear a lot of unless they're ardent listeners to the BBC or Radio 1 or whatnot makes the speaker (i.e., me) seem darned clever... I also use a lot of words on the east coast that I picked up growing up in the midwest: Onery, yonder, tarred out, etc.

    While I, too, prefer not to sound like some lugubrious troglodyte; having an extended lexicon doesn't exactly prevent oneself from becoming just another pharisaical sycophant.
