Poor Shane. He must be suffering terribly under this barrage of sophisticated, didactic, and interminable verbiage. He's probably gone into shock by now. The paramedics will have to come and revive him with beer and pizza.

Bill - That was magnificent! I'm going to print it in small letters on little white cards and glue them on walls downtown in order to puzzle the local citizenry.

Gratuitous reciprocal platitudinous ponderousness exemplifies unctuous objurgation, albeit inconsequentially.

Silly Shane. You use big words all the time, such as

carburetor
barbecue
sphagnum moss
exhaustmanifold

The trouble with 'fiduciary' is not that it's long. The trouble is that half the people who use it don't really have anything to say.

The same goes for 'paradigm.'

Ah, John, a man after my own heart! My family for years has had our own branch of the Sesquipedalian Society. Our motto: Eschew Obfuscation.
My daughter (age 23) recently wrote "Sesquipedalian" on a form that asked her to state her religious preferences. My son, from about the age of 5, adhered to the principal: why use a 2-syllable word when there's a perfectly good 4- or 5- syllable word available?

What is that? I feel a spark of utter delight when I hear someone choose the multisyllabic over the pedestrian!

As a devoted sesquipedalian, I spit on your truncated monosyllabic preferences!

THe problem, SHame, is that you are a fiduciary ne'er-do-well, a cipher in the fiduciary universe, a fiduciary catastrophe, a black hole of fiduciary mass.

That;'s why you can't relate to those who try to use the wird in a meaningful way.

I keep seein' all these flippin' big words that people are usin' all the time on the Net, eh? What the flip FOR? Like....

"fiduciary"

What the flip does that mean anyways??? Is it Italian? Why would anyone flippin' use a word like that? Nobody in Blind River ever says "fiduciary" to no one ells, eh? If someone did say that to me I would probally punch him! Unlest he was Italian. If he was, I would say, "Speak English fer flip's sake! This is Canada, eh?"
