vocabularical bitch slap

When someone uses a needlessly complicated or esoteric word when a simpler word or expression would suffice.
A common occurence amongst neophyte academics who wish to impress peers.
Why did you say "lacuna" to just say that he had a "break" or "opening" in his schedule? That was a needless vocabularical bitch slap.
