Phrases that look make you smart

[n...not crazy]

I also hate people that use Latin terms like "veni vidi vici" or "quid pro quo" to try to sound smart. I realize lawyers use these terms a lot, but if you aren't a lawyer stfu

I don't tend to use such terms Per Se. You should STFU with this Ad Hoc bullshit.

How scholarly of you

 

[Goonerview]

I remember having a job interview about 10 years ago. I had been teaching for a few years and had just finished a training course.

The interviewer asked me if I had learned anything on the course, I replied with something like:

“Yes, I learned a few things, but mainly I felt like I was just adding skills to my repertoire”

His eyes lit up, I felt like it was at that moment, I had landed the job! I worked there for a year, good times!

Having an extensive vocabulary (and the ability to access it readily) can really make a good impression.

Phrases that make you look smart invariably makes you look pretentious as well.

Invariably.

For real though, I think the smartest people are the ones that can use the simplest of words to express complex ideas that many people can relate and understand.

Naturally

Def worth watching buds, I bought it on DVD when I was young and watched it not that long ago, maybe a year or so. Still very enjoyable despite being 18 years old and something I’ve seen like 10 times. Based on a real person to.

Frank Abagnale. He did a talk at google. It’s on YouTube. Really good stuff.

[Jack Reacheround]

I don't mind some of these terms, the only ones that bother me are the stupid business speak ones that are overused like "bandwidth" "ping" and "value add"

I also hate people that use Latin terms like "veni vidi vici" or "quid pro quo" to try to sound smart. I realize lawyers use these terms a lot, but if you aren't a lawyer stfu

Well, quid pro quo is just a lot more convenient to say than “an instance of mutual reciprocation.” So I understand why people use it.

 

[bigkick]

Using ostensibly in place of supposably will take you places lol.

 

[Graves The Elder]

the term "per se"

big words like "parenthetically" and "disingenuous" are just "pretentious" enough to score IQ points.

copious use of Strawman and Red Herring, especially in the WR, always signify vaunted intelligence.

[Bacco]

As salesman "tipicamente" (typically) was spammed before any bullshit fact i was going to try sell as an absolute Truth of the universe we live in
Like i'm not going to say "100%" or "ever" but c'mon we both know it's essentially a sure thing

This absolute Truth could have been debunked by simple questions like ask me to proof it with actual data supporting it
Like even just a 50+1%

But point is being dead serious saying It, to the point that such question will have been comparable to a duel glove slap so they stfu with their debunking shit
