I see what you did with that act.

Luigiman7 · 02-12-2010, 09:57 PM

Oh deary me, my vocabulary appears to be outstandingly verbose this morrow.

Vapor · 02-14-2010, 07:48 PM

^Wrong usage of "morrow", you infantile, juvenile poser of a sesquipedalian speaker.

Metal Man · 02-14-2010, 08:12 PM

Oh what is this quaint intransigence? People trying to speak with a vocabulary beyond their bounds, I do say! When a person needs to hear some outlandishly gigantic verbiage, they should just turn to the eccentric one known as Metal Man! As ye can see, thou art just a forum reader, who hast not seen the atrocious depths of my violent vernacular shredding! Prithee thou understoodst me? No? Well, that is an unfortunately tragic problem. Alas!

way to misuse "prithee" chap. also "ye" is plural. and "hast" is "to have", not just have.

Alas, I did not have much time to study for the impromptu lubricious test of vernacular. But thanks to you, I will no longer continue misusing prithee, ye, and hast.

Actually I'm still not sure what to use prithee for.

heh · 02-14-2010, 10:21 PM

don't use it. don't use old english at all.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 02-14-2010, 10:21 PM

I think prithee is like the urethra but for robots from ancient Greece, IIRC.

True, I was only using it in jest.

Though that's actually Middle English. Old English is incomprehensible quasi-danish stuff.

heh · 02-15-2010, 05:04 PM

wrong, its actually early modern english. get with the times man. we are up to Modern New York English now.

Old English--'Beowulf'
Middle English--'Canterbury Tales'
Early Modern English--Shakespeare

Never got the appeal of using big ten-dollar college words in day-to-day speech. Feels a little sleazy.

Bomby · 02-15-2010, 07:11 PM

What if you're just so knee deep in academia that those words just become a natural part of your vocabulary?

heh · 02-15-2010, 09:13 PM

then you have achieved Lameness.

***CaptHayfever*** · 02-15-2010, 10:12 PM

I don't worry about whether or not I'm perceived as pretentious and/or uneducated; I just use the word that I think best fits the situation. Sometimes "sesquipedalian" works better; sometimes "freaking big words" works better.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
