Okay we get it! Your smart.

I was watching a Saturday night live show one evening, and one of the topics they were talking about was people who try to use a "BIGGER" vocabulary to make themselves sound "smarter" and I thought wow that's so true and its actually kinda sad. I mean I understand the people who can't help it. Its just there nature or whatever, but it gets really annoying. Like a lot. Then he showed this clip of this Business CEO, and he was speaking at a conference. The funniest part was that he was making up words that had no meanings. People figured it out because when they asked him" what he meant" by the terms he was studdering and didn't have a proper explanation. I was dying of laughter. It was hilarious. It turns out he was an intern and part of his internship was to practice his meeting hosting skills. I think he failed, or if he gave his boss a gut busting laugh maybe he'll get the job after all . So as message to everyone, use you natural voice. Using a higher vocabulary just to please others isn't being "smart" its being ignorant. Stay real. Please and thank you.
