Because your feigning intelligence and it's transparent.
I suppose because they're not used to hearing those words.
Maybe they're not as intelligent as you and find it nerdy.
I think so
How does remember a word make you intelligent though? I thought anyone could look up a word and remember it... That doesn't make one intelligent... I think you mean she's more educated than them
I have a pretty IQ but have a small vocabulary cos I never had any interest in reading a dictionary and they don't really teach you big words in school... Not in my school anyway
Pretty high IQ*
It can be offensive at some point when someone laughs at you just because you used words that aren't very common but for disdain to make them laugh? weirdos.
.. those are pretty basic words, my username is more obscure than them lol.
Did that make you indignant?
They just aren't used as often I guess
Cause it sounds weird
Maybe they aren't familiar with those words
They don’t know how else to respond?
You have low class, slack jawed, friends.
They show their ignorance every time they laugh.
Likely because you share different lexicons.
You need new friends
I have no idea what that even means is that Muslim
Lmao
You have rude, dumb friends?
Yeah
and what do you think about their mental horizon?
What does disdain and hubris means?
lol you use words like disdain and hubris
They aren't that common
