What fancy words do you use to feel clever?

[Thr33]

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;

You're the smartest guy in Heywood.

i dont use big words rather i translate whatever i wrote into japanese and then back to english. try and make sence of a simple sentence by doing that. even better. get a songs lyrics. translate to jap then back to eng and get someone to guess the song.

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.

 

[wibwob]

discombobulated

 

[komat0se]

thread making me feel a little perspicacious

 

[pablo70]

It depends who I'm with...I can use words like "generic" and confuse some of my friends!

Juxtaposition, contextualization, indubitably and plinth

 

[DJ VibeOne]

*Gets on plinth* I can tell you that when contextualising your statement in to the realms of this forum, there is indubitably a juxtaposition between your intelligence and the intelligence of the average member.

 

[sparktank]

I like inexplicably. Fortuitously. Abysmal. Subjugate. Circumvent.
And whatever else I fancy from movies these days lol.

 

[gillbates]
