Polysyllables obfuscate a preponderant ignorance with so much more style and panache.

About This Quote

In a polysyllabic answer, the words are arranged in a way that leaves a lot of empty space. When you ask a person a question and they use a lot of words to answer it, you can tell that they don’t know much about the subject. If you know enough about a subject to use many words to describe it, then you should know enough about it.
