To use large vocabulary and intellectual knowledge and phrases. For one to be sophisticated one must always refer to one as one individual who is capable of comprehending and translating different intellectual knowledge and terminology. The most important thing into being a sophisticated human of mankind is to always perform the act of wise hand gestures. This will show the people "I know what I'm talking about". Also, wear neutral and sometimes rather boring colors to come across to people that you are on of sophisticated intelligence and not to be messed with... by turtles.

Hym "I suppose we'll never know. What I lack in humility I make up for in sophistication hahahahahahaa!"
