So there has been a lot of buzz about Mr. Thoroor's latest tweet. So I'll be explaining fancy words used by him in this thread(though some of the words are already there on my profile but I'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'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's the clarity of vision, the perceptiveness of a person.
