Fungible

"Do you understand the words that are comin outta my mouth?" - Christ Tucker

Perche' usiamo parole complicate?
Sono forse piu' adatte ad una certa descrizione?
Communicano il nostro pensiero meglio?
O per dimostrare il nostro vacabolario?
Forse, una parola piu' comune avrebbe lo stesso effetto, e nessuno si chiederebbe di cosa stiamo parlando.

Why do we use complicated words?
Is it because they are more suited to describe something?
Do they communicate what we are trying to say better?
Or is it to show our vast vocabulary?
Perhaps a more common fungible word would be just as good, and not leave anyone wondering what we're talking about.
