Re: TB2

[(Anonymous)]

I've always had a fairly huge vocabulary myself, and I tended to use it (I have distinct memories of being followed around the playground by a jeering crowd asking me to define words for them, because I was the Walking Dictionary). I did sometimes wonder if people kept giving me conflicting explanations for slang out of a sort of revenge for all the words I used that they didn't understand.

In hindsight, I think none of us were doing it on purpose, as such. I just couldn't keep up with the way slang shifted from place to place/person to person/time to time, and they genuinely didn't understand why I had to use six long words where two short ones would have done (for the record, I always feel this need to be precise, and English has a lot of words that mean close to the same thing, but not exactly).

Mostly, I just blink stupidly at people when they use slang I don't get (or innuendo), and they ask me for a translation when I'm getting too long-winded to keep up.
