Did you ever get a "Hey, don't be using twenty dollar words in a twenty-five cent conversation." That was a wake up call.

- Symbiote 5y agoThat sounds fairly confrontational to me. I only had phrases like "look at you with your fancy words", which (in Britain, depending on tone) can mean something from "I'm impressed you remember words like that", to "I don't understand you" and "you seem to think you're better than me".
