The fact that you think people use "big" words in an effort to make you feel inferior says way more about you than it ever will about them.
I love words. I love reading about words, learning new words and learning the etymology of words.0 -

The internet is one of the few refuges I have left to express the full breadth of my vocabulary.
I was cooking with my daughter and granddaughter the other day and I asked if I could use their "colander". My daughter asked if I could use the other word for it so they could know what I was talking about. Oh yeah, a sieve. Sheesh. So many great words, so few places to use them.
Sieve is not the first word that would come to mind for that.
Colander or strainer. It is a sieve but still... lol
I am distracted by the blinding light emanating from your groinal region. I think I need to report this for the way it makes me feel. Also, is that heaven?
Interestingly enough, I've had this pic up for 3 weeks and you're the first to comment on the fact that my vag is glowing.0 -
I'm not sure what bothers me more. The fact this thread exists or that I even took the time to read it.0

^^ This. Don't complain about the unfamiliar; take action to learn more about it.0 -

_John_ how dare you call the OP an unhelpful imbecile? That's abuse.0 -

GET! OUT!
First thing I saw. I suppose that says more about me than big words.0 -

Every time I don't know what something is I google. Wish I hadn't.__drmerc__ wrote: »The enzymatic pathway for converting dietary carbohydrate (CHO) into fat, or de novo lipogenesis (DNL), is present in humans, whereas the capacity to convert fats into CHO does not exist. Here, the quantitative importance of DNL in humans is reviewed, focusing on the response to increased intake of dietary CHO. Eucaloric replacement of dietary fat by CHO does not induce hepatic DNL to any substantial degree. Similarly, addition of CHO to a mixed diet does not increase hepatic DNL to quantitatively important levels, as long as CHO energy intake remains less than total energy expenditure (TEE). Instead, dietary CHO replaces fat in the whole-body fuel mixture, even in the post-absorptive state. Body fat is thereby accrued, but the pathway of DNL is not traversed; instead, a coordinated set of metabolic adaptations, including resistance of hepatic glucose production to suppression by insulin, occurs that allows CHO oxidation to increase and match CHO intake. Only when CHO energy intake exceeds TEE does DNL in liver or adipose tissue contribute significantly to the whole-body energy economy. It is concluded that DNL is not the pathway of first resort for added dietary CHO, in humans. Under most dietary conditions, the two major macronutrient energy sources (CHO and fat) are therefore not interconvertible currencies; CHO and fat have independent, though interacting, economies and independent regulation. The metabolic mechanisms and physiologic implications of the functional block between CHO and fat in humans are discussed, but require further investigation.
Telling people that isocaloric diets that contain a higher % of carbohydrates absolutely do not cause more fat gain would be counter to the sugar is the debbil hypothesis so many scientists and users promote here...
Thank you for the translation. I got bored after the first sentence.

Some people naturally have an expanded vocabulary. It doesnt infer an attempt at intimidation0

is it hippopotamuses or hippopotomi?0 -
It amuses me that some people here claim to have huge vocabularies yet don't seem to understand the meanings of the words 'sarcasm' and 'humour'.0

I apologize if I offended anyone. I was just trying to be funny with my warped sense of humor!0
