So there has been a lot of buzz about Mr. Thoroor& #39;s latest tweet. So I& #39;ll be explaining fancy words used by him in this thread(though some of the words are already there on my profile but I& #39;ll do it once again for convenience). (1/n)
SESQUIPEDALIAN
Ok if someone is a sesquipedalian he/she loves to use fancy lengthy words (Just like Mr. Tharoor). (2/n)
RODOMONTADE
Ok, this is a bit old-school, if someone is Rodomontade he is always very boastful, he is always touting about himself or his achievements. (3/n)
UNEMBELLISHED
This is a very good word, if something is Unembellished it is simple and straightforward, it is presented as it is.
Like you can have Unembellished facts or statements. (4/n)
TORTUOUS
This is ridiculously formal. If something is tortuous it is consisting up of twists and turns. Eg tortuous roads or tortuous ideas. (5/n)
CONVOLUTION
This is anything having a complex and vivid structure and this fits beautifully with the word tortuous. So the construction "tortuous convolution" is talking about complex nuanced twisted ideas. (6/n)
OSTENTATION
TBH I was a bit surprised to see both ostentation and Rodomontade in a sentence because they& #39;re almost synonyms. Ostentation is an act of glorifying yourself extravagantly. (7/n)
LIMPID
If something is limpid it is clear and straightforward. Lacking any ambiguity.(8/n)
PERSPICACITY
It& #39;s the clarity of vision, the perceptiveness of a person.
