Anyone who uses the word vermillion is a pretentious ass in my book Why? Do you have something against being educated?
I believe a strong vocabulary is a great thing to aspire to. English speaking people only use a fraction of the words available to them. It's time to dust them off and put them back into everyday usage.

"Anyone who uses the word vermillion is a pretentious ass in my book' Ironically, the pigment vermilion is made from cinnabar (mercury sulfide), which is fairly toxic - not something I would use to describe foodstuff.
