State Trooper Syndrome

The act of obviously searching for more complex words to use in one's speech when more simple words will do just fine, and in most cases, work out better.
"We encountered the uhhhhh perpetrator as he attempted to evacuate the uhhhh edifice. He then utilized the egress and proceeded to uhhhhh abscond with the uhhhhh victim's paraphernalia."

hey, why don't you just say "we saw the guy that did it as he left the building with the other guy's stuff?"

because then people won't think i'm smarter than i am.

ahhh, State Trooper Syndrome then?

United States of America

A country that got big from stealing land and participating in wars that they have nothing to do with. Country that loves to hate, mostly made up of pretentious cunts that are depressed and are 5 seconds away from shooting up a school church, or your local walmart. It Uses A name of a whole continent to describe itself. takes what it wants. love to brag about artists and important figures that are originally not even American. oh and i almost forgot, they also love to practically trap their natives in "Reservation camps" until they kill themselves. horrendous Amalgamation of other countries that maybe could respect others a bit better.
American: Hey, man, The United States of America is the greatest. we have the best army , the best government, and the best actors/Important figures Any other Reasonable Human Being: wait, so you prefer a hegemony that wont work over feeding, housing, and educating your own country for about 1/3 of the budget for the army? By the Best government do you mean a president whose job before the campaign was to be daddy's personal stripper? Or do you mean the fact that a Wyomingites vote is worth more than a californian's? or that your shithole state doesnt matter for the elections and so does your vote? or finally that winning is not determined by popular vote (no, that's too hard) but by points according to the popular vote by state? Your government is great at one thing and one thing only, lying and brainwashing. did he bring your jobs back? no he never will. did he build a wall? no he didn't. By actors and Important figures do you mean Bruce Lee, Guillermo Del Toro, Jackie Chan, Diego Luna, Avicci, Tiesto, 6IX9INE, lil Xan, lil Peep and that's just scratching the surface. also, in the sports that no other country really cares that much about like Basketball and American Football the majority of the players are of the ethnicities that you hate so much, yet you love the sports. just accept that your country is entirely made up of immigrants from all over the world. Being a Patriot in USA should be more like also praising the countries that made it.

The greatest fucking country on the planet. They, with some untrained, unorganized backwoods militiamen defeated one of the largest military powers in the world in the name of freedom. NBD.
