You guys know what I mean. Like, when someone uses the word hubris. Of course you know what it means but your like, "What a pretentious, dork-face." Or, like, instead of saying fish someone says ichthyoid. What the gently caress is that? Just say fish, dude. I mean, inamorata? Who the gently caress even knows what that europe poo poo means?



So, what are some $2.00 words that immediately tell you that someone is a huge douche?

I'm a fan of the Portland Basketball Trailblazers and one of the Blazersedge drivers, whenever he is recapping stats always uses the word 'besides' like this:

quote:

Portland’s offense struggled to start the game, missing 7 of their first 8 shots and added a couple turnovers besides.

and everytime I read it I stop reading the article and silently rage for a good 5 to 10 minutes

Seriously though, no words; it all depends on context.

Orthogonal: a good word to use in a seminar to describe a relationship between two things and also a word that'll get you punched in the face at the pub.

Wait, is the douche the poster that draws the probe, or the mod that probes the poster?

Or is it both?

... I have decided it's most likely both. Not because of the content of said theoretical post, but just based on the averages for the communities overall.
