Similar to
name-dropping, word-dropping is when someone (in conversation or
writing) uses either long, sophisticated words frequently, or words they have obviously discovered on urban
dictionary. This can sometimes be beneficial to the listener or reader, extending their vocabulary, but mostly it is annoying and perplexing.
"I'm going home to take a Northwest Nap,
TTYL. "
or
person 1 - "My cranium is encumbered with an
excess of inane drivel."
person 2 - "Dude, stop with
the word-dropping i dont understand you!!"
