Big Words

This Google Chat conversation requires no introduction (except to point out that the rules or grammar and correct spelling do not apply in chat world), but it does need to be shared:

me:  So this GRE vocab is ridiculous

no one is ever going to encounter most of these words in their life EXPECT on tests like these

friend:  example?

 me:  assuage

 friend:  i think i know that word

 me:  to ease or lessen; to appease or pacify

 friend:  don't those come in links and/or patties for breakfast?

 me:  haha

Exigent

urgent, pressing; requiring immediate action or attention.... pretty sure anyone who ever needed to use this word would just say "urgent"

 friend:  i think you are right

haha

 friend:  i am goign to try and use tha word today

do you have a sentence?

 friend:  i would use "urgent" just to asuage you

 me:  have you been sitting there thinking about how to use that word for the past 10 minutes?

 friend:  uh...um...no....um....because i didn't think it was exigent.

or an exigent matter....

 me:  hahahaha

 friend:  challenge accepted and completed.

 me:  Now you're just trying to equivocate so that you sound erudite.

 friend:  duh

 me:  Equivocate.  Erudite.

I will obviate you.

hahaha

I'm a nerd.  I need to stop.

 friend:  that would be mean to obviate me

 me:  You're right.  It would be ingenuous of me to extemporaneously fulminate or obviate you.

 friend:  oh lord

ill pull google fro that one

 me:  fulminate?

to attack loudly or denounce

 friend:  ye

ah...

friend:  now you are just being grandiloquent

me:  Possibly.  However, I laud you for being so magnanimous and not being irascible.  If it would not be too onerous, I would compose a lucid paean for you.  But you would probably consider it a parody.

 friend:  Sesquipedalian even

 me:  you're cheating.

 friend:  well..you have GRE words in front of you!

you have GRE words in front of you!

 me:  hahaha

 me:  you're very perspicacious

while I continue to prattle

 friend:  dang...that is the word i was trying to think of!!!

perspicacious...

it slipped my mind.

 me:  you were trying to think of it because I make you think of perspicacity, don't I?

 friend:  yes....of course....your wits can't be matched

you pull it off..while i come across as pedantic

 me:  I just stupefy everyone.

 friend:  in numerous ways

 me:  Your solicitous and sporadic neologism is perfunctory.  I have qualms about your aberrant alacrity and reticent perfidy.

 friend:  whoa...i don't know where to start on that

 me:  Okay, that one may not actually make sense beyond that fact that the parts of speech agree

solicitous - concerned and attentive; eager
sporadic - occurring only occasionally or in scattered instances

neologism - a new word, expression or useage

 friend:  oh you think i am perfidy

 me:  perfunctory - cursory

perfidy is a noun.  so, no, I don't think you're perfidy; however, I was falsely accusing you of committing perfidy

 friend:  when do people talk like this

 me:  btw, aberrant, I think you know.
alacrity - eager and enthusiastic willingness
reticent - quiet; reserved
perfidy - intentional breach of faith; treachery

never

 friend:  i have no doubt i could send my dad these sentences and he would reply in kind

but....not normal people

reminds me of what i might see in a victorian era movie

 me:  He would reply that I'm employing effrontery and then he would censure me for using these words so incorrectly.

 friend:  for certain

 me:  I hope some big brother at Google is reading this conversation

 friend:  haha...you will start getting weird ads on your pages

in gmail etc

 me:  yeah, for mental institutions
