Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Half the Trope Namer. John Cusack's Marshal Vince Larkin:

Larkin: [Cindino's] known to be somewhat garrulous in the company of thieves.
Malloy: Garrulous? What the "" is garrulous?
Larkin: That would be loquacious, verbose, effusive. How about "chatty"?
Malloy: [to Devers] What's with Dictionary Boy?
Larkin: "Thesaurus Boy", I think, is more appropriate.

https://allthetropes.orain.org/wiki/...Loquaciousness

Sesquipedalian: A long word, or characterized by the use of long words. From the Latin roots meaning "a foot and a half long."

Loquaciousness: That would be garrulousness, verboseness, effusiveness. How about "chattiness"?

A predilection by the intelligentsia to engage in the manifestation of prolix exposition through a buzzword disposition form of communication notwithstanding the availability of more comprehensible, punctiliously applicable, diminutive alternatives. Also known as "gross verbosity".

In brief: "smart" characters using long words when short ones would be better. Characters afflicted with this trait often seem to go out of their way to over-complicate their speech, probably because writers think that this is the only way to show that someone is more intelligent than the average writer. This could also be the trait of a particularly anal-retentive character who always has to be right, the trait extending so far that the character always has to use exactly the right word -- never using "blue" when "azure" would be more accurate, for example.

Who is Number One?

What can One say? Except maybe THIS:

It is superlatively incontrovertible that you do not suffer from hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia ...

(Often spelled hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia ... hey, it makes the word longer)

Thank you, Scott, for that delightful and entertaining diversion!


P.S. Personally, I think "cerulean" would be much more accurate and, for that matter, appropriate than either "blue" or "azure".

P.P.S. I laughed so hard, my sides were splitting! Thanks, Scott!

What else would you expect from Marshal Larkin? He is the deuteragonist, err, I mean he's almost as important as Poe!
