One of the absolute gayest books assigned to complete in highschool. It has words you must learn and it asks questions about those words and it is a complete pain in the ass. There were sites where you could find answers to these but they quickly got shut down. All these books are are a pain in the ass.

vocabulary dropping

This is the dropping of large words to demonstrate a large vocabulary rather than to communicate clearly and simply.

Amy was vocabulary dropping before the students, trying to appear intellectual.

vocabulary communist

A person who tells you better, more complicated words you could have used in your previous sentence. Often a grammar nazi as well. Always annoying.

Person 1: "Dude, that was totally not needed!"

Person 2: "I think you should have said 'that was totally superfluous'."

Person 2: "Stop being such a vocabulary communist."

vocabularical bitch slap

When someone uses a needlessly complicated or esoteric word when a simpler word or expression would suffice.
A common occurence amongst neophyte academics who wish to impress peers.

Why did you say "lacuna" to just say that he had a "break" or "opening" in his schedule? That was a needless vocabularical bitch slap.
