I obviously need dumber friends....
Here for you, buddy!
I had to Google "obfuscate" there Mr. Fancy Pants smart guy.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself...
One day, years ago we were in a meeting and I used the word nebulous. My friend told me I was making the word up and took great pleasure in giving me crap about it. I went to dictionary.com after the meeting, printed out the definition page and taped it to his monitor. He was more than a little embarrassed, since he'd said that in front of IT and HR management.

Morning!
For those that are like me and don’t care, the Golden Globes were last night. After seeing several articles mentioning Ricky Gervais’ monologue, I went and listened to it. It’s a very enjoyable 8 minutes and ends with a message they needed to hear from one of their own. It worth the listen this morning, made me smile.

Amazing when people do that. I don't gauge folks by vocabulary (there are plenty of things I know little or nothing about, and there are plenty of folks with small vocabularies that we should really listen to more), but when someone volunteers loudly to display their stupidity (and in the case you mentioned it would have been ignorance had he done it differently, but he turned it into stupidity by the way he displayed it), it gets difficult not to.
I have no issue asking questions to learn, but it always amazes me when folks want to throw down on something they admittedly know nothing about.
Like the quote attributed to Mark Twain: "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
Golden globes? Ricky Gervais?
I hate it when people use big words that I don’t know the meaning of.
Agreed. Anyone who hasn't taken the time to watch it should do so.
Yes, that quote fit that situation perfectly...
I watched his intro.

It’s the only part I care to watch. The rest is mind numbing, but it was a good intro. And faces of people in the crowd are priceless.
Once there was a time when I was part gangster , and part cowboy. I wore that leather 10-gallon until it eventually fell apart .... notice the admiring gaze from the girl on the right.

Captive is a good place for most of them.
Looks like I'll be speaking less. At least I can still impress people with my trigger finger.
The plaque is self directed but you may usurp it if you deem it applicable.
