You're not asking him to use "big boy" words, you're asking him to use your preferred set of terminology from a particular branch of philosophy that you happen to be familiar with, and fuck other philistines who haven't read exactly the same philosophy articles as you have. But of course, he should not use any words that you specifically are not already familiar with, otherwise he'd be a poser acting needlessly erudite. You want him to start from exactly where your specific mental model is and go from there, skipping all the parts you're already familiar with. Basically, you're the main character?
