"Over-intellectual"

Quick question.

If you used the word "incompatible" in a conversation, would you expect to be told that you use words that are too big and not relevant to the conversation. In the context I used it, it was in regards to compatibility between individuals in relationships. ie - some people are not compatible.

Is that wrong?

But SHEEPY agrees with me coz I said it first.

So you agree with me, not him.

Yes.

By the way, I got FM's joke.

I agree with Sheepy, but it's not exactly a really big word, is it?

People think I'm weird because I call people "insolence personified."

I would say 'not compatible'

Didn't burst out laughing and seriously annoy them then?

I've ended too many conversations that way.

I was too stunned, to be honest.

How is incompatible a long word? It's not as if it's very obscure.

Did you mock them in a suitably long winded fashion?

Talk about hijacking my thread.

*sulks*

That had to have been one of the most elongated elucidations of a joke... ever.

And no, I don't want any of your Nescafé.

Noted and appreciated.

Nescafé tastes like sugarpuffs always has, always will.

I'm off to the sea side. Maybe it will shake the cob-webs out of my brain.
