Oliver must have a vocabulary-word-a-day desk calendar … unless the feature is built into his Banana Junior 6000.
Looks like Binkley is going preppy with the Izod shirt.
I’m with Oliver when it comes to words—“tome”, “elephantine” … so descriptive, so satisfying, like savoring a dark chocolate truffle.
that does seem gargantuan …
Cue the thesaurus the ate New York.
I worked with a guy who would proclaim he was “famished” around lunch time.
I guess Binkley will be the new spokesperson for Newspeak ("Do we really need all those words?’)
The BOOK is BIG.
That’s a codex.
Binkley is flummoxed.
But if it’s a Tome, it might teach you a Spell!

I personally make a point never to use “tome” without putting “learnèd” in front of it.
It looks more brobdingnabian to me.
Doorstop?
Someone’s been reading the thesaurus, again.
“Tome” on my hands!
Believe him. It is a tome.
Next word up: labyrinthine.
Never use a big word when a diminutive one will do.
Binkley is so wrong and represents the Dumbing Down. Oliver is right to expand his vocabulary (and Binkley’s, too)!
I’ve always been grateful that whenever I asked my mother what a word meant, she told me, “Look it up!”. Ever since my youthful days, the dictionary has been my best friend!
