Oh my god again "that's a big word, do you know what it means?" well considering I used it 100% correctly what do you think
The word, by the way, was "hyperbolic" like what we learned in year 7 English and year 8 Maths, and used a bunch in Science to describe our graphs, so a word 13-year-olds are expected to know.
@Murkrow “I am a fully qualified sesquipedalianist”.
But also, ugh. This is a straight-up micro-aggression.
@ghost_bird "I have a degree in mataeology luv, I know at least sixteen words and their meanings"
It's going to be a macro-aggression next time when I leap over the counter and headbutt them
@Murkrow Apparently I’ve been a mataeologist all my life and never knew it until now - thanks.
You’re right though. I can think of lots of satirical replies, but none of them would be as satisfying as a swift headbutt.
@Murkrow I haven’t, so thanks for the recommendation.
@ghost_bird it's the follow-on to the better-known Etymologicon but I prefer it because it's organised by time of day to make it extra whimsical. Both are fantastic though!
@ghost_bird in that case have you read the Horologicon? If yes, heck yeah but if not do treat yourself to it it's SUCH A GOOD BOOK
