You could just call them wastrels

Wastrels has a nuance (can I use that?) that is inappropriate.

Oh well. I should think it still more effective than using words that no one knows.

I think that if I had to communicate your phrase I would go with the long line of short words that people know rather than the short line of long words that people don't know. Better than that though, I would search for a better word. Alas, I tried and failed...
