Callipygian

You had to bring that up an hour before I go surfing.

You can imagine what I'll be looking at and thinking about as I wander along the beach and paddle out to the break...

Sciolism: Superficial knowledge; a show of learning with no substantial foundation.

When someone with this disorder contradicts you, it's always fun to accept it gracefully with something like "I see. Well, I bow to your obvious sciolism" and then change the subject. On the off chance that someone else in the group gets it, you have just scored major points.

Plenty of that around. I´ll be sure to use it in my circle against someone.

Seems like a lot of us old dudes have our mind in the same area this morning.

Pentasyllabic, and other self-referential words, such as "short" and "self-referential" and "recherché".

 

[Amethyst]

Aww, why can't you use it? Someone called me that once. I pretended not to know what it meant, so he had to explain using an air diagram...

Aren't pompous people, the ones who speak of the pompitus of love?

Pompous, as in pompous a$$. I still encounter some, but they no longer matter.

Grok.

 

[Amethyst]

I used grok the other day at work - and the other people knew what I meant!

I also use "pussy-cat" when speaking of a small feline. It was what we said in my family.

I was a working adult before I realized that some people are embarrassed by "pussy-cat" (because they cannot hear "pussy" without thinking "vagina"). I think this is similar to the people who use inane phrases like "must have excellent written and verbal communication skills" because they cannot use the word "oral" without thinking "oral sex."

Grok.
