people who react with fears at words they don't know are just insecure fucks. "what did you mean by that?" or "i don't know that word" is a fine thing to say.
btw the first thing i did when i saw the OP was to google "pithy"-- i've spotted that word but never heard it.
then again, eeengleesh is my 2nd language and i'm not afraid to ask questions-- i got cover i guess.
but still-- what the fuck. don't know or don't understand? don't blame the other and fucking find out.
but people never heard of the word "transgression"? for real? weird... must live in a bubble.
on the other side of the coin-- often people couch bullshit arguments in flowery words just to cover up the fact that they are talking out of their ass. learn those terms and call them on their bullshit. a good dictionary (many are online these days) is your friend.
