Sophistry

1 + 1 may = 2 but if you look into the factors of 1 you realise that 1 and 1 are 2 seperate entities which cannot be added together hence 1 + 1 = 0

Sophisticazzo

Adjective, Adverb, Verb...pretty much all parts of speech when the right suffix is added (not usually a noun).

Sophisticazzo is a descriptive word (in most cultures) that describes someone who gets dressed up, say for a party, and looks sophisticated, but also looks like he/she is going to get right on down to it.

It can also be used as a euphemism for what they did (totally sophis) in the closet last night.

Alas, it can most definitely be used to describe the way in which a person moves.
Adjective:

Girl 1: You know what my mom said before I left the house? "You look a bit too wild sweety."
Girl 2: God, really? I don't think you look THAT sophisticazzo...

Verb:

Boy 1: I heard they sophisticazzoed last night...
Boy 2: Nah bro. He's just tellin' everyone that to make himself seem cooler.

Adverb:

Don't you think that girl is a little too young to be walking so sophisticazzoly?
