| Sledge-daddy, what does "mephitic" mean? You don't seem to use it correctly. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| You're right, I don't. It means to smell bad but properly it should be used in context of soils and the earth, not people. | |

| How about "pusillanimous"? You sure like to use that word a lot too! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I use that word incorrectly as well. I use it to mean small or child-like when it actually means timid or lacking courage. | |

| But you use "pusillanimous" to describe the people who are bringing you to justice. That doesn't sound timid to me! So why do you use words improperly? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| It's simple. Some adults like me are very insecure about our intelligence, so we use obscure words to impress other people. Even if we're wrong. | |
