Quinto

The use of a highly-educated word that requires the listening person to look it up or try to define it in context. (Coined by Aisha Tyler and Zachary Levi)
"Equivocation" when used in a non-formal conversation is considered a quinto.

Using a slang word and having to look it up is not considered a quinto.
