I can't stand it when the only word that properly articulates what I'm trying to say is a "big" word, and I have to spend time thinking about how to shrink the word so I'm not using a 5-dollar word when a 50-cent one would do.
I was talking to a lady who had gotten two kittens from me, and she was describing their grooming habits, and I was about to refer to the "more fastidious one", but then I paused because what if she doesn't know that word, or what if she thinks I'm showing off, or what if... So I paused after I said "the more..." and she smiled all smugly, raised one eyebrow and said "fastidious?" as though she were teaching me a new word.
Sigh.
In short: Sometimes NOT using a big word discombobulates ME.
