Jing: People assume that just because I'm asian, I'm super smart! Jing: Well, I'm not! I'm a garden-variety teenage boy! Jing: Not to be confused with common or passable, because that connote mediocrity and a lack of uniqueness... Jing: What?!

Yeah walking dictionary doesn’t imply smartness, nor does walking encyclopaedia, nor does having a 100+ IQ.

i had a department head who liked to use big words, too bad he never learned when to use them or what they actually meant

Yes, indeed, vlechtja. Intelligence is knowing the correct word to say; wisdom is knowing when to say nothing.
My father once remarked, “If you send a dope to college, you get an educated dope.”

Vocabulary is like math. If you don’t use it, you may lose it.
But, like most things: it is not what you have, it is how you use it that matters.
