Word Scrabble

So, occasionally I use really big words in my stories, things people aren't always necessarily familiar with. Words like vicenarian, bankophobia, situational storm, etc.

The thing is, I often spend a lot of time looking up the larger words in my stories, because in my mind I play word scrabble with words like thing, junk, shit, crap, etc.

I am rarely as eloquent in real life as I am in my stories
