I get very exacerbated with people who use big words to sounds smart.

In the 1800's British Parliament, Conservative Benjamin Disraeli is remembered for his political battles with the Liberal Party leader William Gladstone. Here is one of Disraeli's better putdowns...

"[Gladstone]...is a sophisticated rhetorician inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself."

Aren't big words fun? Much better than 140-char Tweets.
