Answer 1

I'm white, 1/4 part of me is Indian.. you can use any words with me, as I don't judge a person on speech level, I don't judge at all! It's who you are, use your own speech preferences...... I'm on everyones' side...... no race issues here. actually, just ignore them fools, they don't deserve your time if they are like that.... I'd ignore them too...

Answer 2

The best thing for you to do to improve your vocabulary is to read a lot of books. I doubt that anyone is trying to make you feel stupid, you may feel that way because your a bit under educated. Don't feel alone in that as most people are today. Words are a wonderful way to expand your communication skills and to set yourself apart from the crowd. Learn as many as you can and you'll never feel stupid again.

Good Luck to you, you won't regret the effort it takes to learn the language.

Start with something your interested in, be it fiction or nonfiction. Even trashy romance novel authors use words that are good to have as a part of your vocabulary. (Though "He moved inexorably toward her" is a bit over used) Anything by Dean Koontz is good for a few trips to the dictionary and entertaining as well. Authors of fiction also do a great deal of research into a subject when they write so that, while the story may be imaginary, the circumstances surrounding it will be fairly accurate. You can learn about a lot of different subjects along the way. I read everything from journals kept by a Captain in the Colonial army during the Revolutionary War to Harry Potter.

Answer 3

Just because someone uses words you don't know doesn't mean they're trying to make you look stupid. My Dad uses words I've never heard and will never use. He uses them because he knows them, not to make me look stupid. I had a boyfriend who used big words. Guess what? He was black. Has nothing to do with race. It has to do with education. Maybe you should take some classes if you feel like you are less than other people. The only one making you feel that way is you. It's your own insecurity. White people have nothing to do with it. Why do you want "fight back"? Just educate yourself and it won't be an issue. Do you think black people with big vocabularies go around saying white people use big words to make them look stupid? No. Because they don't. Stop trying to put down another race and raise yourself up.

Answer 4

Read some books and educate yourself. Don't try and pretend. If you are not into books, read the NY Times, find out whats happening in your city. If you come across words you do not understand, look them up online. In no time you will have a larger vocabulary (see how easy that was!) and you will be able to communicate with your peers (another good one!) and employment prospects a whole lot better.

Answer 5

Ya know, when I grew up, my family was the only black family in an all white community. I grew up speaking in all the "two dollar" words I heard daily. I actually had to learn to speak the way WE speak!

You're smart to recognize what's up-- but don't do it to "fight back at them". You're not stupid! You have street smarts they'll Never know. Do It For Yourself. Know that if you empower yourself (I took a dictionary, opened it everyday to a random word, memorized the definition and used it 3 times that day) Nobody, whatever their attitude, can take that from you. They can TRY to make you feel stupid, but you can just laugh and tell them "their inane, irrelevant comments are superfluous".

Don't change who you are, just know that ANY knowledge you can add to yourself-- turn it on , turn it off if you have to-- only expands your being here on this earth.
You Can Do It!
Peace out & good luck!

Answer 6

First, if you don't understand a word, ask what it mean. Far from making you look stupid, it makes you look smarter. And you learn what they are talking about. Second take a small pocket dictionary with you. Most people that use "two dollar words" are either highly educated, or more likely, don't know what they are talking about and think big words make them look smarter. The funny thing about that is it really makes them look dumber.

Answer 7

"big words"
"white people"
"two dollar words"

I'm sorry that you "feel" stupid, but you are probably referring to people with an education.

How to fight back?
-Start working on crossword puzzles to get a better idea on what words mean.
-Read a local newspaper daily to get a good idea on what good grammar is supposed to sound like.
-Use a dictionary to look up words you don't understand.
-If you don't understand a word that somebody uses, ask them what that word means. It'll make you smarter, not stupid.

People don't use "big words" to make you feel stupid. It's not "personal" at all.

That's how I perfected my English and got out of Brooklyn!

Answer 8

No sweetie, don't think of it as a white thing it's really an education thing. No I don't mean as in going to school but when we expose ourselves to different environments we collect a better vocabulary. Perhaps if we other groups start to read more culturally diverse books and watch more than sitcoms that represent our own culture we would be better in interacting with different people. And also, I am offended that you think whites are the only ones who can use such immense words. I think you need to surround yourself to more educated (culturally diverse) people.

Answer 9

How about "ubiquitous"?

"yew bick quit us"

It means generally everywhere.

and "superfluous" as in "more than necessary".

"Redundant" and "tautology" are good, they mean saying the same thing repeatedly.

"Why are you ubiquitously using superfluous linguistics? It's redundant and tautological."

Then you can make their head twitch by switching to something Mr T might have said, like

"You just wanna ack de foo'."

Then switch to redneck with

"Somebody needs some kitty cumbotty." Which is Texmex for "do you want an asswhoopin?"

Answer 10

Just because someone has an education and they are white, don't get so offensive. If you got an education, maybe you could use a few "two dollar words". Stop blaming other people's color for your own stupidity. (which is obvious in your post.)

Answer 11

tell them this:

"the point of conversation is to exchange ideas. the most stupid people will use words the other does not understand, and thus, is unable to communicate his position."

edit: onomotopia means a word thats written like the sound it describes. like the word "boom"
