feeley

The perpetual and sustained usage of verbiage containing a minimum of 4 syllables in order to portray the appearance of superior knowledge to those surrounding your immediate presence. While the inventory of words used is rather limited, they are rotated on a daily basis. Prior to the utterance of such a term, there must be an exaggerated pause to further enunciate the importance of the forthcoming wonderment. This is known as the Feeley Pause. This usually leaves those surrounding you in internal laughter - if they can hold it in.
