Current Movies - Thumbs UP or Thumbs DOWN

There, there Latestarter - not you.     I already knew the meaning of that word.    It was the Word Bully - he was 9 years older than me  I was 35 and he was 44.

Omg. Hahahaha! I'm
8 yrs younger than my husband. I'm the word bully in this household. I think he hates it. I can't help it though! I blame it on my Dad.

A boyfriend once used that big word "diametrically " opposed because he thought I was too dumb to know what it meant. Ha, I was too dumb but, I looked it up right away (this was long before google.)- so I do know NOW. He loved to read that part of Reader's Digest -' something or other 'towards a better vocabulary. He was a 'word bully."

I prefer the term 'word smith'.

Anyone going to see The Revenant? Looks good, and I like movies either true story or based on true story. Not sure when or if the theater we go to is going to play it, they only have one at a time.

We are really wanting to go see it!

Has anyone seen "The Big Short"? Christian Bale's portrayal of Michael Burry was exceptional. I am ambivalent about the movie as a whole and wonder what others think of it.

If prefer to say "Grandiloquence"--using big words to impress people. Lol. There's a big word for someone who says words just because they know the other person won't know them...can't remember what it is.

Does it begin with "smart" followed by something rude? That's what we "down under"call those people .

LOL XD. No, no, I didn't mean that

It's kinda like superciliousness but a little more specific. I can't remember the exact word and I can't seem to find it either.
