I have a better vocabulary than the marketing people across my cubicle wall.
Last week, one complained that her boss was trying to show off because he said something about "bolstering their application volume" on the Web site. She was like, "What is BOLSTER?"
Today, her neighbor laughed that someone on a call just used "plethora."
Come on, now.

Jefe: "We have stuffed many pinatas for your birthday celebration!"
El Guapo: "How many pinatas?"
Jefe: "Many pinatas, many!"
El Guapo: "Jefe, would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?"
Jefe: "Yes, El Guapo. You have a plethora."
El Guapo: "Jefe, what is a plethora?"

A co-worker and I are trying to use at least one fancy pants word a day.
We dang near get the giggles when we finally nail it. It's dumb as hell but makes the day go by faster, I guess. And it's making us have more smart.
