What are some of the "difficult" words you use in everyday life?

>> No.2119372

Circumvent. I know, not that difficult, but it blows some people's minds.

>> No.2119374

Superfluous.

>> No.2119375

Downregulation,.. Schizoaffective... Hypothalamus... Cerebrospinal... Neuropsychobiology...

Or do you mean words which are themselves complicated? Like hijinx. Fuck! Three dotted things in a row!

I was discussing literary criticism of the pentateuch last night and /lit/ was amused that I used eisegetically about an unacceptable interpretation.

The fact is that they're probably smarter than me. I'm just about average intelligence.

>> No.2119436

>>2119431
My interlocutor was, and they were sufficiently intelligent to posit an acceptable, however deeply flawed, counter-interpretation. When I drew attention to the fact that they were ignoring core features of the text, they laughed at my use of eisegetic as if they'd never done any biblical criticism in their life.

Exegesis for life, bros.

Not really. It might be fascist if he gave the corporations an official place in government, but lobbying, campaign contributions, etc. are not the only components of a fascistic corporatist state.

Not hard to impress people anymore. I was recently on the phone trying to schedule an inspection for my truck. Girl on the other end was confirming she had the make and model right and I said "Correct."

It blew her fucking mind, /lit/

Also it surprises people when I say "I'm well" instead of "I'm good"

I ain't even trying to make them look bad, southern public education is a joke. Although the colleges are pretty sweet.

wait? you think genesis is disconnected from the narrative of the other four books? Not DEUTERONOMY, I know youre a fucking troll, but fuck. Cmon, that one was literally tacked on a few hundred years later and written by some priests after the other four. Genesis is at least coherent in style with the other stories copied from oral tradition.

5/10 you made me bite, but apparently no one else.

Also vehemently always surprises people.
