grandiloquent (gran-DIL-ah-kwent) — using high-flown, pompous,bombastic words and expressions.
The word itself is dignified and poised; besides, isn't it funny to have a big, impressive word about big, impressive words?
Words are funny, amazing and at times difficult. This one seems to make fun of the use of big words at times when not needed. As if to say get to the point and be clear and simple.
Have a great week
Alan Kirkpatrick It indeed is funny to have a big word for big word...
